Solve the following exercise:
To solve the problem of adding and , we proceed with the following steps:
Step 1: Identify the common denominator, which is 7 in this case. Since both fractions have the same denominator, we can apply the formula directly for adding fractions with a common denominator:
Step 2: Add the numerators of the fractions. Combining the numerators, we have:
Step 3: Write the resulting fraction using the sum of the numerators and the common denominator. The resulting fraction becomes:
Conclusion: By adding the numerators and using the shared denominator, the sum of is .
The correct answer choice is , and this corresponds to choice 4.
Thus, the solution to the problem is .
