Math Problem Statement

Solve: 2/7+3/14+3/7

Solution

To solve the expression:

27+314+37\frac{2}{7} + \frac{3}{14} + \frac{3}{7}

Step 1: Find the least common denominator (LCD)

The denominators are 7 and 14. The LCD of 7 and 14 is 14.

Step 2: Rewrite fractions with the LCD

  • 27\frac{2}{7} can be rewritten as 414\frac{4}{14} (because 2×2=42 \times 2 = 4).
  • 314\frac{3}{14} remains as it is.
  • 37\frac{3}{7} can be rewritten as 614\frac{6}{14} (because 3×2=63 \times 2 = 6).

Now, the expression is:

414+314+614\frac{4}{14} + \frac{3}{14} + \frac{6}{14}

Step 3: Add the numerators

4+3+614=1314\frac{4 + 3 + 6}{14} = \frac{13}{14}

Final Answer:

1314\frac{13}{14}
