= 14/13 + 11/20
= [(14 x 260)/(13 x 260)] + [(11 x 260)/(20 x 260)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 280/260 + 143/260

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/260 x (280/1 + 143/1)
= 1/260 x (280 + 143)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/260 x 423
= 423/260
