Question

What is 1/4+3/8+1/2+5/8+7/8

Answer 1

Answer:

2⅝

Step-by-step explanation:

You must convert each fraction to a common denominator.

The least common multiple of 2, 4, and 8 is 8.

  1/4  +3/8  + 1/2  + 5/8 + 7/8     Convert to a common denominator

= 2/8 + 3/8 + 4/8 + 5/8 + 7/8

= (2   + 3     + 4    + 5     + 7)/8

= 21/8                                        Convert to a mixed number

= (16 + 5)/8

=  2  +  ⅝

= 2⅝
