To solve this problem, you need to find a common denominator for 3/8 and 1/4. In this case, the common denominator is 8, because it is divisible by both 8 and 4.
So, you need to rewrite 3/8 and 1/4 with the common denominator of 8:
3/8 = (3/8) * (2/2) = 6/16
1/4 = (1/4) * (2/2) = 2/8
Now, you can add the fractions:
6/16 + 2/8 = 8/16
Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 8:
8/16 ÷ 8/16 = 1/2
Therefore, 3/8 plus 1/4 equals 1/2.

that's wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's solve it correctly.
To add 3/8 and 1/4, you need to find a common denominator, which in this case is 8.
Now, let's rewrite the fractions with the common denominator:
3/8 = 3/8 * 2/2 = 6/16
1/4 = 1/4 * 2/2 = 2/8
Now, you can add the fractions:
6/16 + 2/8 = 6/16 + 4/16 = 10/16
The fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2:
10/16 ÷ 2/2 = 5/8
Therefore, 3/8 plus 1/4 equals 5/8.
