find the LCD, which is 24 and multiply each fraction to get to the LCD
2/3----> 18/24
5/8----> 15/24
now add them
18+15 = 33
so you get 33/24
solve 2/3 + 5/8

they need common denominators, so:
1) find a common denominator. in this case, the lowest one is 24.
2) make both denominators = 24.
2/3 x 8/8 = 16/24
5/8 x 3/3 = 15/24
3) add them!
16/24 + 15/24 = 31/24 or 1 7/24

Good job, Student! The answer is 1 7/24.
Oops, Brandon. You've done a great job tonight helping other students -- but when I went to school with the dinosaurs, 2/3 equaled 16/24.
