Answer 2

Hello!

Here we have fractions with unlike denominators.

So, we need to find the common denominator (the LCM of both denominators).

LCM stands for Least Common Multiple.

So, what is the L.C.M. of 4 and 8?

It is 8.

So, 8 is the lowest common denominator.

Now, we multiplied the denominator of the first fraction by 2, so we multiply the numerator by 2:

$\bf{\displaystyle\frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{8}$

Now, add:

$\bf{\displaystyle\frac{6}{8} +\frac{3}{8}$

$\bf{\displaystyle\frac{9}{8}$

Final Answer:

$\bf{\displaystyle\frac{9}{8}$ (Improper fraction)

$\bf{\displaystyle1\frac{1}{8}$ (Mixed number)

I hope it helps you.

Good luck and enjoy your day!
