This is an improper fraction, so you can turn it into a mixed fraction as the final answer. However, remember that when adding, the denominator stays the same and it is only the numerators that need to be added.Īccordingly, as 24+35 is 59, the answer in fraction form would be 59⁄40. We can easily add the two fractions together now. This gives us our common denominator 40, and now the new fractions would be 24⁄40 and 35⁄40.
