The answers above are great, however, improper fractions can be easy to work with too.
3 7/8 + 1 3/4 can be changed to 31/8 and 7/4.
the common denominator becomes 8 so 7/4 must be multiplied by two on both the numerator and denomenator.
31/8+14/8=45/8
8 goes into 45 five times and has 5 left over giving you the answer 5 5/8
