Adding Fractions with Like Denominators: Sevenths Example

$\frac{3}{7}+\frac{1}{7}=$

To solve this problem, we follow these steps:

• Step 1: Confirm the fractions have the same denominator.
• Step 2: Add the numerators of the fractions.
• Step 3: Keep the common denominator the same.

Let's work through these steps:
Step 1: The two fractions are $\frac{3}{7}$ and $\frac{1}{7}$. Both have the same denominator of 7.
Step 2: Add the numerators, $3$ and $1$. This results in $3 + 1 = 4$.
Step 3: The denominator remains 7.
Thus, when we add the fractions, we get $\frac{4}{7}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $\frac{4}{7}$.
