The answer to that question is the sum of the hours he studied for on both days, which will be 1/4 + 3/8.
However, we cannot add fractions with different denominators. In this case, it's 4 and 8.
So if we want to add them, we must make the denominators similar to each other. How to make 4 into 8? We multiply it by 2: 4 x 2 = 8.
BUT when we multiply fractions, we must multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number to keep its original value. In this case, if you want to multiply 4 by 2, you must also multiply 1 by 2.
=> SO to make 1/4 into y/8, we will multiply it like this (1 x 2) / (4 x 2) = 2/8
Now we can add the 2 fractions together. 2/8 + 3/8 = (2 + 3)/8 = 5/8. THIS IS YOUR ANSWER.
TL;DR: He studied 5/8 (or 0.625) hour altogether on both days.

There's no need for a system of linear equations if you were to solve a real life problem like this. In calculus, they don't give a rat about HOW you get your answer to an easy algebra 1 equation, as long as you used one of the correct methods and got the right answer.
Best of luck my friend. :)
