#? = 63.975#, or #63 39/40#

#25 3/8# + #38 3/5# = ?

First, let's convert the fractions into decimals. Ignore the whole numbers for now.

#3/8# is #3# divided by #8#. Divide accordingly. You get #0.375#.

#3/5# is #3# divided by #5#. Divide accordingly. You get #0.6#.

Now, include these converted fractions with their whole numbers:

#25 3/8# + #38 3/5# = ?
#25.375 + 38.600# = ?

Add accordingly. You get:

#? = 63.975#, or #63 39/40#
