I do not know what a giant ine is but
2/8 + 5/8 = 7/8
2/8 + 5/8 = 7/8
However, since both 4 and 8 are common factors of 8, the common denominator is 8.
1/4 = 2/8
2/8 + 5/8 = 7/8

Here's how you can add the fractions using a giant line method:
Step 1: Draw a giant line and divide it into 8 equal parts.
Step 2: For the fraction 1/4, shade 2 out of the 8 parts (since 4 divides into 8 twice).
Step 3: For the fraction 5/8, shade 5 out of the 8 parts.
Step 4: Count the total number of shaded parts, which is 7. This represents the sum of 1/4 and 5/8.
Step 5: Write the sum as a fraction with the common denominator 8. The sum is 7/8.
Therefore, the answer to 1/4 + 5/8 is 7/8.
