7%262%2F3+%2B+6%267%2F8=7%2B2%2F3%2B6%2B7%2F8
7%262%2F3+%2B+6%267%2F8=13%2B2%2F3%2B7%2F8
Use the common denominator,
3%2A8=24
7%262%2F3+%2B+6%267%2F8=13%2B%282%2F3%29%288%2F8%29%2B%287%2F8%29%283%2F3%29
7%262%2F3+%2B+6%267%2F8=13%2B%2816%2F24%29%2B%2821%2F24%29
7%262%2F3+%2B+6%267%2F8=13%2B%2837%2F24%29
7%262%2F3+%2B+6%267%2F8=13%2B%2824%2F24%29%2B%2813%2F24%29
7%262%2F3+%2B+6%267%2F8=13%2B1%2B%2813%2F24%29
7%262%2F3+%2B+6%267%2F8=14%2B%2813%2F24%29
7%262%2F3+%2B+6%267%2F8=14%2613%2F24
