Answer 1

1/4 +3/8 = 5/8

Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:  LCM of 4 and 8 is 8

Steps for adding fractions:

For the 1st fraction, since 4 × 2 = 8,

1/4 = 1 x 2 /4 x 2 = 2/8

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 8 × 1 = 8,

3/8 = 3 x 1 /8 x 1 = 3/8

Add the two fractions:

2/8 + 3/8 = 2 + 3 /8 = 5/8

So, 1/4 + 3/8 = 5/8
