To simplify: 4 3/8 + 7 3/8
1. Add the whole numbers first.
4 + 7 = 11
2. Since the denominators of the two fractions are the same, add the numerators and write 8 as the denominator.
(3 + 3)/8
= 6/8
3. Combine the answers in #1 and #2.
11 6/8
Therefore= 4 3/8 + 7 3/8 = 11 6/8
3/8+3/8= 6/8= 3/4
10/8 = 5/4 = 1 and 1/4
3/8 + 7/8 is 1 1/4.
1 1/2
11 1/4 reduced down 10 1/4 or 82/8
6/8 simplifies to 3/4, so there are three fourths in six eighths.
3/8+3/8= 6/8= 3/4
10/8 = 5/4 = 1 and 1/4
3/8 + 7/8 is 1 1/4.
7 1/4
1 1/2
11 1/4 reduced down 10 1/4 or 82/8
It is: 1/4 plus 3/8 = 5/8
2 1/4 + 3 3/8 = 5 5/8 or five and five eighths.
2 7/8 + 1 3/4 = 4 5/8 or four and five eighths.
43 3/4 + 31 3/8 = 75.125
There are 4 eighths in a half. Therefore, 4 + 1 = 4 eighths.
