It rained 2/8 inch in one hour. If rained 4/8 inch in the next hour.find the total amount of rain.wrote in simplest form

Answer 1

So just add the fractions together but keep the denominator the same. So now the fraction is 6/8, To simplify just find the greatest common factor which is 2 and divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2. Now the fraction should turn out into 3/4. 

Answer 2

2/8+4/8=6/8 = 2/3 I believe if there isn't some hidden text I don't understand...
