Question 671438
 2 {{{3/8}}}
+3 {{{1/3}}}
____________
...
Create a common denominator
 2 {{{(3/8)(3/3) = 9/24}}}
+3 {{{(1/3)(8/8) = 8/24}}}
_____________
...
5 {{{17/24}}}
........
Alternatively,
Conver them to improper fraction
2{{{3/8}}} is 8*2=16+3=19, so {{{19/8}}}
3{{{1/3}}} is 3*3=9+1=10, so {{{10/3}}}
...
Now assign common denominators
{{{(19/8)(3/3) + (10/3)(8/8) = 57/24 + 80/24 = 137/24}}}
...
Convert back into a mixed fraction, 24 goes into 137 evenly 5 times with 17 left over.
5 {{{17/24}}}
