<PRE><B>Question 850619</B>
Add the whole parts:  3 + 4 = &lt;font size=4 color=&quot;blue&quot;&gt;7&lt;/font&gt;


Add the fractions: 2/7 + 5/7 = (2+5)/7 = 7/7 = &lt;font size=4 color=&quot;purple&quot;&gt;1&lt;/font&gt;


Now add the whole and fraction results:  &lt;font size=4 color=&quot;blue&quot;&gt;7&lt;/font&gt;+&lt;font size=4 color=&quot;purple&quot;&gt;1&lt;/font&gt; = &lt;font size=4 color=&quot;red&quot;&gt;8&lt;/font&gt;


This means,


3 2/7 + 4 5/7 = &lt;font size=4 color=&quot;red&quot;&gt;8&lt;/font&gt;</PRE>
