Answer:
11/8 in improper form or 1 and 3/8
Explanation:
To do this, both denominators have to be the same. We are going to make 3/4 have an eight in the denominator (Bottom number).
4x2 = 8. Yay! the denominator is 8! But wait! What we do to the top, we must do to the bottom. Multiply the top number (3) by 2.
3*2 is 6. Your new fraction is 6/8. 6/8 is the same amount as 3/4.
Now let's add the top numbers of both fractions together. 6 and 5.
6+5= 11. Now that we have our top number, let's put it on top of the bottom number.
That gives us 11/8.
We can leave it like this but it's better if we put it in proper form.
Let's do 11 minus 8. That gives us 3. We have a whole 8/8 plus an extra 3.
8/8 is a whole so it's equal to 1. Now, we can't forget the extra 3!
We have 1 whole and 3/8 of a whole.
That gives us 1 and 3/8
