Answer:  167/70

Explanation

Something like "2 over 7" is the same as 2/7

3/6 reduces to 1/2

To add the fractions, we must get each fraction to the LCD (lowest common denominator). In this case the LCD is 7*5*2 = 70

Get each fraction to have its denominator become the LCD

  • 2/7 = (2/7)*(10/10) = 20/70
  • 8/5 = (8/5)*(14/14) = 112/70
  • 1/2 = (1/2)*(35/35) = 35/70

We can now add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same the entire time.

20/70 + 112/70 + 35/70 = (20+112+35)/70 = 167/70

That cannot be reduced further since the GCF of 167 and 70 is 1.

As a way to confirm the answer, you can use WolframAlpha. GeoGebra is another option.
