Question

Kyle grates 4/8 pound of cheese for enchiladas. He grates 2/8 pound of cheese for tacos. How much cheese does Kyle grate in all?

Answer 1

He grates 6/8 pounds of cheese in all.

For this problem, you just have to add the numerators and keep the denominators.

4/8 + 2/8 = 6/8.

Remember, if the denominator is the same, just add the numerator.

Answer 2

When you add fractions remember only add the numerator. There has to be a common denominator. Like 8.

4/8 + 2/8

4+2=6

So the answer is 6/8
