Given:
Since the denominators are common (the same), we can add the numerators:
Upon inspection, the GCF(7, 7) = 7In Simplest Form,
Therefore, the Sum of
2/7
+ 5/7
Since the denominators are common (the same), we can add the numerators:
2/7
+ 5/7
= 2 + 5/7
= 7/7
However, 7/7
is NOT in Simplest Form since the Greatest Common Factor of 7 and 7 does not equal 1, GCF(7, 7) ≠ 1Upon inspection, the GCF(7, 7) = 7In Simplest Form,
7/7
= 7 ÷ 7/7 ÷ 7
= 1/1
= 1Therefore, the Sum of
2/7
and 5/7
is equal to 1 in Simplest Form: 2/7
+ 5/7
= 1
