Question

5/8 + 1/8

Answer 1

To add the fractions \( \frac{5}{8} \) and \( \frac{1}{8} \), you simply add the numerators since the denominators are the same:

\[
\frac{5}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5 + 1}{8} = \frac{6}{8}
\]

Now, you can simplify \( \frac{6}{8} \):

\[
\frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}
\]

So, \( \frac{5}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{4} \).
