I think the correct answer is conjunction...
So, to solve the questions on your paper, you need to first have all of the bottom numbers on the fractions similar numbers. So if you have the numbers 1/4 and 4/8, you need to get them to both be the same number. Therefore, 1/4 should become 2/8, because you doubled the bottom number (you also then need to do the same to the top number). You don't need to change 4/8, because it's bottom number is already 8. Then, you can take 4/8 and 1/8 and add them. To add them, you just add the top numbers. The top numbers make 5, so then you add the denominator, and make the number 5/8. Since you can't simplify 5/8, just keep it. But if it was 4/8, you could simplify it to 1/2. You can do all of this same to all of the numbers on your paper. :D If you are subtracting, subtract only the top numbers, but if you need to multiply or divide, multiply/divide both numerator AND denominator. :D I hope I helped! If I didn't, please tell me, or just delete my answer. :D
