1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

the answer is 1 and 1/3 or just 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

1/8 + 3/8 = 1/4 when reduced its 1/2

1/2 + 5/6= 1 and 1/3, because to solve this problem, the denominators have to be the same. since 5/6 has a denominator of 6, and 2 can go into 6. the denominator of 1/2has to be 6.

step 2

you're going to multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3, when you do, you will get the answer of:

$\frac{1x3}{2 x 3}=\frac{3}{6}$  

step 3: add 3/6 and 5/6

$\frac{3}{6} +\frac{5}{6} =\frac{8}{6}$ when reduced, it $\frac{3}{4}$  which can be left as it is, or be reduced again to, $1\frac{1}{3}$.
