Step-by-step explanation: To find how much of the wall Maya painted, we will add the two fractions. Let's do it step-by-step.
1. These fractions have unlike denominators, to make them alike, we have to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator).
3/4 = 6/8
1/8 = 1/8
Note: What you did to the bottom, you do to the top.
1a. I multiplied 2 by 3 and 4 to get 6/8.
1b. I multiplied 1 by 1 and 8 to get 1/8.
2. Since we have like denominators, we can add!
![Solve:\frac{6}{8} +\frac{1}{8} = \frac{7}{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Solve%3A%5Cfrac%7B6%7D%7B8%7D%20%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B8%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B7%7D%7B8%7D)
Therefore, your answer is 7/8. The fraction don't need to be reduced to lowest terms.
