"It is 1"
To add the two fractions you need to establish the least common denominator (LCD.) In order to do that you need to list the common multiples of the denominators. The common multiples of eight and six would look like this:
0, 8, 16, 24
0, 6, 12, 18, 24
In the list you would not have to include zero. Keep listing until you find two numbers that are the same. In the list, twenty-four is the least common multiple (LCM.) So, you would use twenty-four as your denominator. Keep in mind that you are going to create two equivalent fractions to add.
4/8 = 12/24
3/6 = 12/24
Now, add the two new equivalent fraction's numerators. Twelve plus twelve equals twenty-four. You now have the fraction 24/24, which equals ONE WHOLE.
four and seven eights
7 and 2/3 + 8 and 5/6
25/24 or 11/24
one and five eights
4/8
4/6 + 6/8 = 16/24 + 18/24 = 34/24 = 15/12
It is 1.175
1/6 + 3/8 + 3/8 =4/24 + 9/24 + 9/24 =22/24 =11/12
four and seven eights
7 and 2/3 + 8 and 5/6
it is nine eighths it is nine eighths
25/24 or 11/24
well three-sixth-two-sixth is one-sixth
7 and 1 6th Seven and one sixth
Three eights (24) plus three eights (24) = 48.
The final answer would be three and three-eighths. Here's how to solve it mentally.You have to set their denominators [bottom numbers] equal. So, keep seven eights, since two ["half"] goes into eight, but you must make 2 and a half into 2 and four eights, because four is half of eight. Pretend for a minute that the four eights isn't there. So, 2 and seven eights. Then, add one from the four eights, so that it will now be 3., and so that the four eights is now three eights. So, 3 and three eights.Sorry. I'm not very good at explaining, but I hope that helped. ^^"
