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...
Each time, you add one to the numerator and one to the denominator.
3 3/8
8/8 or 1
To add the fractions five ninths and negative three eighths, you need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of nine and eight is 72. Convert both fractions to have a denominator of 72 and then add the numerators. The result is -17/72.
Add five eighths
6
You have to add six and five...
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.
3 3/8
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.
Find a common denominator between the two fractions to simplify calculations. 4 and 8 are factors of 8, so make convert your quarter to the equivalent amount in eighths, which will be 2 / 8 . Add the two fractions together now. 2 / 8 + 5 / 8 = 7 / 8 your answer is seven eighths.
1/2+3/8=7/8 -lover of math geeks ;) the common denominator is eight, so one half is converted into four eights. Then, three eighths plus four eighths is seven eighthts, so your answer is seven eighths. - A math geek
