Answer:
4 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay so you need help adding these fractions.
You can start by converting both into improper fractions
For the first one
1 3/4 ====> you multiply 1 by 4 and add the sum to the numerator the improper fraction becomes ===> 7/4
Do the same for the other
3 1/8 ====> 25/8
To add these you have to get a common denominator.
The LCD is 8
So to get the other fraction to have the same denominator you must multiply both top and bottom by 2.
7/4 * 2/2 = 14/8 so now you have to add.
14/8 + 25/8
= 39/8
Now simplify (to simplify you have to divide 39 by 8)
See how many times 8 can go into 39
4 times which equals 32 the remainder is 7 so your final answer would be:
4 7/8
Hope this helps
