Question

Write the obtained value in the simplest form
$\frac{6}{8} + \frac{5}{4}$
​

Answer 1

$\longrightarrow \sf \: \frac{6}{8} + \frac{5}{4}$

LCM of 8 and 4 is 8.

$\longrightarrow \sf \: \frac{6}{8} + \frac{5 \times 2}{4 \times 2}$

$\longrightarrow \sf \: \frac{6}{8} + \frac{10}{8} = \frac{6 + 10}{8}$

$\longrightarrow \sf \cancel \frac{16}{8} = \frac{2}{1} = 2$

Therefore,the answer is 2.
