Let's add

Step 1We still have different denominators (bottom numbers), though, so we need to get a common denominator. This will make the bottom numbers match. Multiply the denominators together first. Now, multiply each numerator by the other term's denominator. Now we multiply 3 by 11, and get 33, then we multiply 64 by 11 and get 704. Now for the second term. You multiply 7 by 64, and get 448, then multiply 64 by 11 and get 704. This gives us a new problem that looks like so:

Step 2Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators. 33 + 448 = 481 So what's the answer so far?
