The answer is 5 Eighths.
Before you add, you have to get a "common denominator". You get this by finding a common multiple of 2 and 8; in this case the common denominator would be eight. So, leave the one eighth alone and change the denominator of the one half to 8. You multiply the 2 fourtimes to make it get to 8.
Youhave to do the same thing to the numerator. So multiply the 1 fourtimes, just like the denominator.
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Now, you have 4 over 8 (one half)plus 1 over 8. Answer: 5 over 8.
