Question

I’m so confused about this

Answer 1

It would be number 3 If I am correct that says 2 5/8.
Here's How its done:
So we need to add 2 1/4 and 3/8 together but how do we do that if the denominator of the fractions are different.
We will have to convert them to have the same denominator.
Since most of the answers on the screen show that they have a denominator of 8 we will convert this to also have a denominator of 8.
One of the fraction already has a denominator of 8 so we will only have to convert 2 1/4.
2 1/4 = 2 2/8
2 2/8+3/8=2 5/8
Hope This Helps

Answer 2

1 7/8
She ate 3/8 quarts of soup.
There are 2 1/4 quarts of soup.
So in order to solve it, you must make both denominators equal.
The GCF is 8, so 4×2=8
You must do the same with the nominator as well.
So, 1×2=2
Since 3/8 is bigger than 2/8, you must use a whole number. Lets take one.
It then becomes 1 10/8.
1 10/8 - 3/8= 1 7/8

Therefore, the answer is 1 7/8
