7/8 + 5/6
Find the least common denominator
8- 8, 16, 24...
6 - 6, 12, 18, 24
24 seems to be the least common denominator
We know that 8x3 = 24 so 7x3=21 and 6x4=24 so 5x4=20 (whatever we do to the denominator, we do to the numerator)
Now the fractions are:
21/24 + 20/24
Add the numerators and keep the denominator of 24 the same.
(21+20)/24 = 41/24 = 1 17/24
Final answer is 1 17/24
You have to add six and five...
To add three eighths and five twelfths, first find a common denominator, which is 24. Convert three eighths to 9/24 and five twelfths to 10/24. Adding these together gives 19/24. Therefore, three eighths plus five twelfths equals 19/24.
Each time, you add one to the numerator and one to the denominator.

8/8 or 1
Add five eighths

That would be 5 eighths. Since 1/2 is equal to 4 eighths, you simply add 1 and 4 together to make five. (The eighths part stays the same)
Each time, you add one to the numerator and one to the denominator.

Two and three-eighths plus one and seven-eighths equals four and two-eighths, which can be to four and one-fourth. Here's how to find the answer. First, you add the two whole numbers together, giving you three. Next, since you are adding two fractions with the same denominator, you add the numerators together, which gives you ten eighths. You then convert that to one and two eighths and add the one to three which is four. Finally, you divide both the numerator and the denominator by two. The final answer is four and one-fourth.
There are eight eighths in a whole. We have four whole units, so the first sum is: 8x4=32 In this case, we have 7 additional eighths, so add them on, and the answer is: 32+7=39
The denominators are different, so find the equivalent fractions using the LCD , then add the fractions with the denominators.

Half of 5 is 2.5, and half of seven eighths is three and a half eighths. So technically, half of 5 and seven eighths is 2.5 + 3.5 eighths, which simplifies to 2.5 + 3/4, making the answer 3.25. Hope that clears things up for ya!
