Question

1/2+3/8+4/8 how do you solve this with showing work

Answer 1

$\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{3}{8} + \dfrac{4}{8} = \dfrac{4}{8} + \dfrac{3}{8} + \dfrac{4}{8} = \dfrac{4+ 3 + 4}{8} = \dfrac{11}{8} = 1\dfrac{3}{8}$

Answer 2

1/2 = 4/8

4/8 + 3/8 + 4/8 = 11/8

(the denominator stays the same)

Answer = 11/8 or 1 3/8

Hope this helped☺☺
