The expression 0.625 can be rewritten as 5/8 because 6 is in the tenths place and 2 is in the hundredths place. Therefore, the expression becomes:
5/8 + 3/4
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common denominator (LCD) is 8. So, we need to rewrite 3/4 as an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 8:
3/4 = (3/4) * (2/2) = 6/8
Now, the expression becomes:
5/8 + 6/8
Adding the numerators together gives:
5 + 6 = 11
The denominator remains the same:
8
Therefore, the simplified expression is 11/8.
So, the answer is A) 11/8.
