First thing to do, when you have to add 2 fractions, you have to make both denominators equal. 14/6 = 0.84, so can't multiply or divide any fraction by a whole number to get the other denominator.
So, you multiply each fraction by the denominator of the other fraction. Which means that you multiply 5/14 by the denominator of 1/6 which is 6, and you multiply 1/6 by the denominator of 5/14 which is 14.
5/14 + 1/6 = 30/84 + 14/84
Then you join both fractions to make them under one denominator, since both denominators are equal.
30/84 + 14/84 = (30+14)/84 = 44/84.
Now, you need to simplify the fraction: you divide both numerator and denominator by 4:
44/84 = 11/21

So 5/14 + 1/6 = 11/21

Hope this Helps! :)

Sum or difference 7/8 + 1/3

Alex

Answer:

Sum. If the problem asks to add the two fractions, the result is:

$\frac{29}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you mean to simply state whether this is a sum or a difference, it's a sum.

This is because of the + sign present between the two fractions which indicates it's an addition.

If it was a - it would indicate it was a subtraction problem (or difference)

In order to solve this, we will have to get a common denominator on both fractions. In this case, to do this, we can multiply each denominator to the other fraction, such that:

$3(\frac{7}{8}) + 8(\frac{1}{3})\\\\\frac{21}{24} + \frac{8}{24}\\\\\frac{21 + 8}{24}\\\\\frac{29}{24}\\$
