GPT 3.5 · Answer

To find the total amount of fabric that Emily should allow for the top treatment seam, we need to add the measurements of the first and second seam.

First seam: 1/4 inch
Second seam: 3/8 inch

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 8 is 8.

1/4 can be rewritten as 2/8 (multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2)
3/8 remains as is

Therefore, the total amount of fabric for the top treatment seam is:
2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8

So, Emily should allow for 5/8 of an inch of fabric for the top treatment seam.
