Question

Can you please help me with this question

Answer 1

So we are simply adding them

we will set the denominator equal by multiplying both the numerator and denominator
then just adding the numerator while keeping the denominator. look at my work. so your answer is 5/8

Answer 2

Find a common denominator for both. It is 8. So you leave 1/8 alone and you find out how much you have to multiply the other denominator to get It to 8. 2x4 is 8 so, you multiply 1x4 and that is 4. So the new equation is 4/8+1/8 and that is 5/8
