First add the whole numbers;
5 + 3 = 8
then add the numerators( you could add them cause they have like denominators);
8/12 + 5/12 = (8+5) = 13/12
13/12 = 1 1/2
so your final answer would be: 9 1/2 (I added the whole numbers)
This would be true because it shows that p equals either a or b and it also shows that p equals a which is true because it is one of the independent choices.
The answer would be C
A) (4+4)/(4x4)=(8)/(16)=1/2
B) 4+4/(4x4)=4+4/(16)=4+(1/4)=4 1/4
C) 4+(4/4)x4=4+(1)x4=4+4=8
