(3/5)+(7/8)=(24/40)+(35/40)=(59/40)=1 and 19/40
Seven eights plus three eights is ten eights. Now, possibly you intended to ask about eighths, rather than eights. Ten eighths is equal to one and a quarter. However, ten eights is equal to 80. The extra h makes a difference.
16/40 + 15/40 = 31/40
(Three of anything) plus (another three of it) = (six of the same thing)
It would be 13/8 or 1 and 5/8
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. ^^"
9 39/40
It is 1.175
2 and thirty-nine fortieths
the correct answer is one and eleven fortieths or 1 11/40

seven eights. 1 half = 4 eights add 3 eights and you get 7 eights.
16/40 + 15/40 = 31/40
Five and seven eighths
3/4
four and seven eights
5
one and seven eighths
