1/2 + 1/4 =2/4 + 1/4
(the common denominator is 4)
common denominator:60 :)
If there is no common factor, as in this case, you just have to multiply all the factors together to get the common denominator.
You have to find a common denominator, and then add them - watch... 1/2+ 1/3 = common denominator would be 6 3/6+ 2/6=5/6 The answer is 5/6
One half plus a quarter can be calculated by converting both fractions to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 4. Therefore, one half is equivalent to two fourths. Adding two fourths to one fourth gives a total of three fourths. So, one half plus a quarter is equal to three fourths.
Just do the usual steps to add fractions. First, find the common denominator (8, in this case). Second, convert both fractions to the common denominator. Third, add the numerators.

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
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.
take it down to a common denominator: 12/24 + 4/24 + 6/24 = 22/24 or 11/12

fourth fifths plus one half = 13/10 or 13/4/5 + 1/2Get the LCD (Least Common Denominator) then add.= (8 + 5)/10= 13/10 or 13/10
