Question

My sister and ate some of a chocolate bar she had 1/4 and I had 5/8 how much of the chocolate bar did we eat

Answer 1

Answer:

You ate 7/8 of the chocolate bar.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to change 1/4 and 5/8 so that they have the same denominators (bottom numbers).

There's a common multiple of 8.

What you do to the bottom needs to be done to the top.

1 x 8 = 8

1 x 5 = 5

5/8

Your amount of chocolate stays the same.

4 x 2 = 8

1 x 2 = 2

2/8 is how much the sister had,

Finally, add the two fractions together.

2/8 + 5/8 = 7/8

You ate 7/8 of the chocolate bar.

Hope this helps, have a good day! :D

Answer 2

Answer:

7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 times 2/2 = 2/8. you would have to do this because the only way you can add fractions is if they have the same denominator. so 2/8 + 5/8= 7/8
