#25/14=1 11/14#

#5/14+5/7+5/7#

First, convert them all to the lowest common multiple of #7# and #14#, which is #14#.

#:.5/7=10/14#

Now, the problem turns into

#=5/14+10/14+10/14#

From, just add the top parts together.

#=(5+10+10)/14#

#=25/14#

If you want, you can convert it into a proper fraction.

#25/14=14/14+11/14#

#:.25/14=1+11/14#

#:.25/14=1 11/14#
