What is 3/8 plus 2/6

Answer: 17/24

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find the least common denominator, I recommend using the peanut. Basically, you write the first 5 products of the number. In this problem, you write the first five products for 6 and 8. In this problem, it's 24. 8 times 3 is 24 and 6 times 4 is 24. So, for 3/8, you multiply the numerator by 3, which is 9. Then, for 2/6, multiply the numerator by 4, which is 8. The new problem is 9/24 plus 8/24. 9 plus 8 is 17. Put the 24 as the denominator. The answer is 17/24.
