The answer to your question is:  Yes, I can.
=================================
Although you haven't asked me to actually show you how, I'm already here
so I might as well just go on through it.


Before we tackle that math problem, I want to discuss a couple of other
different ones, and I want you to solve both of them.

Problem #1:     4 (cows) + 3 (cows)
Can you solve it ?
Did you say " 7 (cows) " ?
Nice work.

Problem #2:     4 (blue bicycles) + 3 ( blue bicycles)
This one is a little harder.
Can you solve it on your own ?
What's that ?  Did you say " 7 (blue bicycles) " ?
Excellent !

I think you're ready for the original problem now:

       4 (sevenths) + 3 (sevenths) = ?

I hope you said " 7 (sevenths) " .
You did ?  Terriffic !
That's the correct solution . . . . . ⁷/₇.

Teachers usually want to see fractions simplified.  That doesn't
change the answer, it's just a neater way to write it.

Any fraction that has the same number on top and bottom is always the same as ' 1 '.

⁷/₇ = 1 , so if you see the answer to this one in a book, it'll say ' 1 '.
It's pretty simple..
All you do is think about the numerator (the top number)
And the denominator (the bottom number)

If the denominators are the same number (which they are) then you keep that the same

And the numerators must be added together

In this case it would be 4+3 = 7

And the denominator stays the same
So your answer will be 7/7



If you want to get even higher with your answer, you can mention how 7/7 is also a WHOLE number
