Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:
LCM of 4 and 8 is 8
For the 1st fraction, since 4 × 2 = 8,
3/4=3 × 2/4 × 2 = 6/8
Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 8 × 1 = 8,
5/8= 5 × 1/8 × 1 = 5/8
Add the two fractions:
6/8 + 5/8 = 6 + 5/8 = 11/8
So, 3/4 + 5/8 = 11/8
In mixed form: 1 3/8
