Respuesta :

(1 / 4) + (1 / 2)

= (1 / 4) + {(1 × 2) / (2 × 2)}

= (1 / 4) + (2 / 4)

= 1 + (2 / 4)

= 3 / 4

(1 / 2) + (3 / 8)

= {(1 × 4) / (2 × 4)} + 3 / 2

= (4 / 8) + (3 / 8)

= (4 + 3) / 8

= 7/8

Answer:

#3 is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]    #4 is [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

you must find a common denominator in both problems.

For #3 the common denominator is 4 so you would multiply [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] by [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex] to get [tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex] then add the numerators together to get 3 and the denominator stays 4.

[tex]\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

For #4 the common denominator is 8 so you would multiply [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] by [tex]\frac{4}{4}[/tex] to get [tex]\frac{4}{8}[/tex]

then add the numerators together to get 7 and denominator stays 8.

[tex]\frac{4}{8} + \frac{3}{8} = \frac{7}{8}[/tex]
