2/6 + 1/8 A) 11/24 B) 3/14 C) 5/24 D) 8/18

So with these two fractions you're gonna have to find the LCD (lowest common denominator) before you start adding them. With 6 and 8, the LCD is 24.

So with the numerator and denominator of $\frac{2}{6}$ multiply them by 4. It'll look like this $\frac{2}{6} * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{8}{24}$

As for $\frac{1}{8}$ , do the same except multiply by 3. It'll look like this: $\frac{1}{8} * \frac{3}{3} = \frac{3}{24}$ .

Now add the new fractions together: $\frac{8}{24} + \frac{3}{24} = \frac{11}{24}$
