Question

1/2+1/8 in simplest form

Answer 1

Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) = 8

Make the denominators the same as the LCD 1*4 2/4 + 1/8

Simplify. Denominators are now the same = 4/8 + 1/8 

Join the denominators = 4+1/8

Simplify = 5/8 

Answer 2

1/4 • 4/4 = 4/8 + 1/8 = 5/8 the dot means to multiply
