Question #19028

Answer 1

`1/8+3/8=color(blue)(1/2`

Explanation:

Because the two fractions have the same denominator, they can be added directly.

`1/8+3/8=4/8`

Since `4` and `8` are divisible by `4`, we can reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by `4`.

`(4-:4)/(8-:4)=1/2`
