Hello! The step by step solution is to simply add them together. Let's take a. 7 3/8 + 3 1/4 for an example. Change the denominator (the bottom number of the fraction) into something both can go into. 4 can go into 8 and 8 can go into 8. Rewrite the fractions beside the actual numbers. Example: /8 and /8 then remember, 4 goes into 8 two times. So do 1x2=2. Then remember 8 goes into 8 1 time so do 3x1=3. Add the two fractions 3/8+2/8= 5/8. Then add the whole numbers as well. 7+3+5/8= 10 5/8. I know that it's really confusing explaining it through words but if you ever need further explanation don't hesitate to ask! :)
