$\frac{25}{24} = 1 \frac{1}{24}$ $25/24 = 1 1/24$

First let's find the common denominator of these two fractions

$\frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{8}$ $2/3 + 3/8$

So the common denominator of both the denominators is $24$ $24$ , because $8 \times 3 = 24 .$ $8 × 3 = 24.$

Now we times both the numerator and denominator.

$(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{8}{8}) + (\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{3}{3})$ $(2/3 xx 8/8) +(3/8 xx 3/3)$

$= \frac{16}{24} + \frac{9}{24}$ $=16/24 + 9/24$

Finally we can add the fractions, as the denominators are the same. So we would add the numerators but NOT the denominator.

$\frac{16 + 9}{24} = \frac{25}{24}$ $(16 + 9)/24 = 25/24$

But we are not going to leave it like that. Notice that the numerator is greater than the denominator. So you would change it into a mixed fraction.

$\frac{25}{24} = 1 \frac{1}{24}$ $25/24 = 1 1/24$
