3%2F25%2B8%2F35......common denominator for 25 and 35 is 175

%283%2A7%29%2F%2825%2A7%29%2B%288%2A5%29%2F%2835%2A5%29
21%2F175%2B40%2F175
%2821%2B40%29%2F175
61%2F175.....your answer
recall, an improper fraction is any fraction such that p%2Fq+%3E+1
in your case p=61 and q=175 which means p%2Fq+%3C+1
if you have an improper fraction, the numerator is greater than (or equal to) the denominator; in your case the numerator is less than the denominator, so your fraction is not an improper fraction

21 + 40/175

3%2F25%2B8%2F35

The two denominators are 5*5 and 5*7.
LCD is 5%2A5%2A7.

%287%2F7%29%283%2F25%29%2B%285%2F5%29%288%2F35%29
21%2F175%2B40%2F175

61%2F175 a PROPER fraction, not improper.
