7. Marites walks to school every day. She usually drops by her friend's house which is 2/3 km away from them. If they walk another, 3/4 km in going to school, what is the total distance of her residence to school?
2/3 and 3/4 is dissimilar fraction so we find some LCD or least common denominator, so 3 and 4 have no similar factors so now we multiply them 3×4= 12 so now 12 is now our least common denominator or LCD
so now we will get the numerator of the fractions 12÷3=4×2=8 and then copy the denominator 8/12 so now 2/3 = 8/12. 12÷4=3×3=9 and then copy the denominator 9/12 so now 3/4 = 9/12 and then lets add them together 8/12 + 9/12 = 17/12 and then simplify your answer using GCF or greatest common factor or divide the numerator to the denominator 17÷12 = 1.5 = 1 5/12
