    1 ⁷/40

    find lcm of the denominators (the bottom numbers) 8&5

    lcm is 40

    ask your self how many times can 40 be divided by 8? 5 times good job.

    so you multiply top & bottom of 3/8 by 5

    3*5=15 8*5=40

    we now get a new fraction 15/40

    ask your self how many times can 40 be divided by 5? 8 times very good!

    so you multiply top & bottom of tht fraction by 8

    4*8=32 5*8=40

    new fractions are 15/40 & 32/40

    we did all of that to get fractions with the same denominator because fractions with like denominators are easy to add you add the top numbers & keep the bottom.

    15+32=47

    47/40 now this fraction can be simplified to a mixed number

    ask yourself how many times can 40 go into 47? one time

    40*1 = 40 & there are 7 remainders & you just keep the denominator the same.

    1 ⁷/40
