Fractions must share a common denominator in order to be added or subtracted. The common denominator is the least common multiple of all the denominators.
What is \( \frac{8}{5} \) + \( \frac{2}{7} \)?
| 2 \( \frac{6}{12} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{7}{15} \) | |
| 1\(\frac{31}{35}\) | |
| 1 \( \frac{8}{17} \) |
