either convert them to improper fractions and add
\n" ); document.write( "1 $\"3%2F4\"$ = 4*1=4+3=7, so $\"7%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2 $\"7%2F8\"$ = 8*2=16+7=23, so $\"23%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%287%2F4%29%282%2F2%29+%2B+%2823%2F8%29+=+14%2F8+%2B+23%2F8+=+37%2F8\"$ = 4 $\"5%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OR
\n" ); document.write( "1 $\"3%2F4\"$ ( $\"2%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "+2 $\"7%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "______________
\n" ); document.write( "1 $\"6%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "+2 $\"7%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "______________
\n" ); document.write( "3 $\"13%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "from the $\"13%2F8\"$ pull out (subtract) $\"8%2F8\"$ as 1
\n" ); document.write( "3+1 and $\"13%2F8+-+8%2F8+=+5%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "yielding
\n" ); document.write( "4 $\"5%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
