Someone me i suck @ simplifying you

To solve this question, you would need to find the common denominator among the 2 fractions. In this case it would be

72.

Then multiply numbers to both of the fractions to get to the bottom number in both fractions equaling 72.

40/72 + 27/72 =67/72.

Try to reduce to lowest terms by dividing a common number from both of them if possible.
