PLSSS HELP!!

Answer 1

The first question. 7/24

Explanation: first you need to get the fractions to the same denominator so you use lowest common multiples
The lowest common multiple of 8 and 3 is 24 so you times both 3 and 8 by 3 giving you 9/24 and then you times both 1 and 3 by 8 giving you 8/24
When you add these together you get 17/24 so the rest of that would be 7/24
