We have been given two fractions [tex]\frac{2}{6}\text{ and }\frac{3}{8}[/tex]. We are asked to find the sum of these fractions.
[tex]\frac{2}{6}+\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
First of all, we will make a common denominator.
[tex]\frac{2\cdot 4}{6\cdot 4}+\frac{3\cdot 3}{8\cdot 4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{8}{24}+\frac{9}{24}[/tex]
Now we will combine numerators.
[tex]\frac{8+9}{24}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{17}{24}[/tex]
Therefore, the fraction [tex]\frac{17}{24}[/tex] will be equivalent to the sum of [tex]\frac{2}{6}\text{ and }\frac{3}{8}[/tex].
