#25/24 = 1 1/24#

First let's find the common denominator of these two fractions

#2/3 + 3/8 #

So the common denominator of both the denominators is #24#, because #8 × 3 = 24.#

Now we times both the numerator and denominator.

#(2/3 xx 8/8) +(3/8 xx 3/3)#

#=16/24 + 9/24#

Finally we can add the fractions, as the denominators are the same. So we would add the numerators but NOT the denominator.

#(16 + 9)/24 = 25/24#

But we are not going to leave it like that. Notice that the numerator is greater than the denominator. So you would change it into a mixed fraction.

#25/24 = 1 1/24#
