? = 63.975, or 63 39/40

Explanation:

25 3/8 + 38 3/5 = ?

First, let's convert the fractions into decimals. Ignore the whole numbers for now.

3/8 is 3 divided by 8. Divide accordingly. You get 0.375.

3/5 is 3 divided by 5. Divide accordingly. You get 0.6.

Now, include these converted fractions with their whole numbers:

25 3/8 + 38 3/5 = ?
25.375 + 38.600 = ?

Add accordingly. You get:

? = 63.975, or 63 39/40
