Hi Dena Lisa. To add these fractions you need to generate a common denominator - you can only add fractions with a common denominator. 28 is the lowest common denominator so:
1) multiply 5/7 by 4/4: this gives:
20/28
2) multiply 3/4 by 7/7: this gives:
21/28
3) add 20/28 to 21/28: this gives:
41/28
4) 41/28 cannot be reduced, so the final answer is 41/28 (which is the same as 1 13/28).
Hope this helps you. Best wishes and good luck.

5/7 + 3/4 = 20/28 + 21/28 = 41/28 = 1 13/28

first you have to find a common denominator
the lowest number that is divisible by both 7 and 4 is 28
multiply both fractions to be /28 - 5 x 4/7 x 4 = 20/28 and 3 x 7/4 x 7 = 21/28
then you can just add the numerators - 20 + 21 = 41
that gives you 41/28
41 is prime so it can't be simplified so your final answer is 41/28

5/7+3/4
first find a common denominator, wich is 28, so you mulitply 5/7 but 4/4 and 3/4 by 7/7 and after that, you get 20/28 and 21/28.
20/28+21/28=41/28
if you have to get rid of the improper fraction, then just divide 41 by 28 and then you'd get 1 13/28.
hope this helps. =]

Take a sientific calculater and type in.....5, Ab/c, 7, +, 3, Ab/c, 4, =
and you will get 1 13/28.
By the way, what grade are you in
