I originally wrote an answer that showed how to add these numbers as fractions.  Then I noticed that it is labeled as a division and addition problem, so the answer above is more appropriate.

Martin did a great job of breaking this down step by step. The idea with fractions is to get a common denominator. In other words you want both fractions written over a single divisor.

Martins process accomplishes this in the most efficient way possible. If you don't already have a good calculator there are several that can help you do this, such as my go to calculator the TI 36X Pro, or you can try plugging your problems into the WolframAlpha website at

www.wolframalpha.com

Type fraction questions in there, it will present you with a solution in the lowest terms.
