To find the total number of voters in favor of the bill, we need to add the number of voters in favor from each day.
On the first day, 3/8 of the voters are in favor of the bill, and on the second day, 1/4 of the voters are in favor.
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 4 is 8.
So, we need to express both fractions with a denominator of 8.
The first fraction becomes 3/8 = (3/8) * (1/1) = 3/8 * 2/2 = 6/16
The second fraction becomes 1/4 = (1/4) * (2/2) = 2/8
Now we can add the fractions:
6/16 + 2/8 = 12/16 + 2/16 = 14/16
So, a total of 14/16 of the voters are in favor of the bill.
To find the total number of voters in favor, we need to multiply this fraction by the total number of voters.
Let's represent the total number of voters as V.
14/16 * V = 14/16 * V/1 = 14V/16
Therefore, the total number of voters in favor of the bill is 14V/16.
Your county proposes a new bill to help provide funds for dog walkers at the local animal shelter. Over a two-day voting period, the county finds 3/8 of the voters are in favor of the bill and the next day 1/4 are in favor. How many total voters are in favor of the bill?(1 point)

it's wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct the calculation.
On the first day, 3/8 of the voters are in favor of the bill.
On the second day, 1/4 of the voters are in favor of the bill.
To find the total number of voters in favor, we need to add the fractions:
3/8 + 1/4
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 4 is 8.
So, we express the fractions with a denominator of 8:
3/8 = 3/8 * 1/1 = 3/8 * 2/2 = 6/16
1/4 = 1/4 * 2/2 = 2/8
Adding these fractions:
6/16 + 2/8 = 6/16 + 4/16 = 10/16
Therefore, a total of 10/16 of the voters are in favor of the bill.
To find the total number of voters in favor, we need to multiply this fraction by the total number of voters.
Let's represent the total number of voters as V.
10/16 * V = 10/16 * V/1 = 10V/16
Therefore, the total number of voters in favor of the bill is 10V/16.
On the first day, 3/8 of the voters are in favor of the bill.
On the second day, 1/4 of the voters are in favor of the bill.
To find the total number of voters in favor, we need to add the fractions:
3/8 + 1/4
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 4 is 8.
So, we express the fractions with a denominator of 8:
3/8 = 3/8 * 1/1 = 3/8 * 2/2 = 6/16
1/4 = 1/4 * 2/2 = 2/8
Adding these fractions:
6/16 + 2/8 = 6/16 + 4/16 = 10/16
Therefore, a total of 10/16 of the voters are in favor of the bill.
To find the total number of voters in favor, we need to multiply this fraction by the total number of voters.
Let's represent the total number of voters as V.
10/16 * V = 10/16 * V/1 = 10V/16
Therefore, the total number of voters in favor of the bill is 10V/16.
3/8+1/4
To add the fractions 3/8 and 1/4, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 4 is 8.
So, we express the fractions with a denominator of 8:
3/8 = 3/8 * 1/1 = 3/8 * 2/2 = 6/16
1/4 = 1/4 * 2/2 = 2/8
Adding these fractions:
6/16 + 2/8 = 6/16 + 4/16 = 10/16
Therefore, the sum of 3/8 and 1/4 is 10/16.
So, we express the fractions with a denominator of 8:
3/8 = 3/8 * 1/1 = 3/8 * 2/2 = 6/16
1/4 = 1/4 * 2/2 = 2/8
Adding these fractions:
6/16 + 2/8 = 6/16 + 4/16 = 10/16
Therefore, the sum of 3/8 and 1/4 is 10/16.
