Good morning

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{7}{8}$ kilograms in Fractions

0.875 in Decimals

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 1/4 and 5/8 from the problem.

And based on the word "altogether", we are going to solve this using the operation of Addition.

Let x be the answer to the equation below.

$\frac{1}{4}$ + $\frac{5}{8}$ = x

We can observe that the denominator of two fractions is not the same, giving us the impression of solving "Unlike Fractions" and when dealing with this type of fractions, we need to first search for LCD or Least Common Denominator of the two fractions.

The LCD of 4 and 8 is 8. After finding out that the LCD is 8, we are now going to use it as the denominator for the two fractions giving us this whole computation to finding out the answer:

$\frac{2}{8}$ + $\frac{5}{8}$ = x ( It became like this because we divide our new denominator with each old denominator of the two fractions then proceeded to multiply the answer with the old numerator to get a new numerator)

$\frac{2}{8}$ + $\frac{5}{8}$ = $\frac{7}{8}$ (Then just proceed to add the numerator)

∴ Miko bought $\frac{7}{8}$ kilograms of beans altogether.
