Q. Evaluate the expression shown below and write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.\newline127+114 \frac{12}{7}+\frac{1}{14} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify Common Denominator: Identify a common denominator for the fractions (127)(\frac{12}{7}) and (114)(\frac{1}{14}).\newlineThe common denominator for 77 and 1414 is 1414.
  2. Convert First Fraction: Convert the first fraction (12/7)(12/7) to have the common denominator of 1414.\newlineTo do this, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 22.\newline(12/7)×(2/2)=(24/14)(12/7) \times (2/2) = (24/14)
  3. Add Fractions: Add the converted first fraction (2414)(\frac{24}{14}) to the second fraction (114)(\frac{1}{14}).(2414)+(114)=24+114\left(\frac{24}{14}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{14}\right) = \frac{24 + 1}{14}
  4. Perform Addition: Perform the addition in the numerator.\newline24+1=2524 + 1 = 25\newlineSo, (2414)+(114)=(2514)(\frac{24}{14}) + (\frac{1}{14}) = (\frac{25}{14})
  5. Check for Simplification: Check if the resulting fraction (25/14)(25/14) can be simplified.\newlineSince 2525 and 1414 have no common factors other than 11, the fraction is already in its simplest form.
