Answer :
[tex]\dfrac{3}{5}+\dfrac{7}{8}=\\
\dfrac{24}{40}+\dfrac{35}{40}=\\
\dfrac{59}{40}[/tex]
first you need to get the common denominator my multiply something like this
3/5 * 8/8= 24/40
7/8 * 5/5= 35/40
now that we got a common denominator we can add
24/40 + 35/40 = 59/40 turned to the simplest form it would be 1_19/40
hope this helps
