Question 766429



{{{3/25+8/35}}}......common denominator for {{{25}}} and {{{35}}} is {{{175}}}


{{{(3*7)/(25*7)+(8*5)/(35*5)}}}

{{{21/175+40/175}}} 

{{{(21+40)/175}}} 

{{{61/175}}}.....your answer

recall, an improper fraction is any fraction such that {{{p/q > 1}}}

in your case {{{p=61}}} and {{{q=175}}} which means {{{p/q < 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
