Find the sum of ½¼and ⅜

1 answer

To find the sum of 1/2, 1/4, and 3/8, we first need to find a common denominator for the fractions.

The least common denominator for 2, 4, and 8 is 8.

Next, we need to rewrite each fraction with the denominator of 8:

1/2 = 4/8
1/4 = 2/8
3/8 = 3/8

Now we can add the fractions together:

4/8 + 2/8 + 3/8 = 9/8

Therefore, the sum of 1/2, 1/4, and 3/8 is 9/8.
