Question

Write each sum in simplest form (1). 5/8 + 3/10 (2). 3/5+1/4 (3). 4/7+1/8

Answer 1

To Simplify Fractions what you have to do is get the number then see what can divide into both the numerator and denominator equally Here:

1.5/8 Nothing can go into both so you leave it.

2. 3/5 + 1/4 = 4/9 Still nothing can go into it.

3. 4/7 + 1/8 = 5/15 you can divide, 5 can go into 5 , 1 time , 5 can go into 15    3 times the answer is 1/3
