To add these fractions, we need to first find a common denominator. The smallest number that both 3 and 8 can divide into is 24.
So, we need to rewrite 2/3 and 3/8 with a denominator of 24.
To rewrite 2/3 with a denominator of 24, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 8:
2/3 * 8/8 = 16/24
To rewrite 3/8 with a denominator of 24, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 3:
3/8 * 3/3 = 9/24
Now, we have:
16/24 + 9/24
To add these fractions, we simply add the numerators and keep the denominator the same:
16/24 + 9/24 = 25/24
So, 2/3 + 3/8 = 25/24.
Add the following fractions:
2/3 + 3/8
