Answer:
the answer is 1 and 1/3 or just 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
1/8 + 3/8 = 1/4 when reduced its 1/2
1/2 + 5/6= 1 and 1/3, because to solve this problem, the denominators have to be the same. since 5/6 has a denominator of 6, and 2 can go into 6. the denominator of 1/2has to be 6.
step 2
you're going to multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3, when you do, you will get the answer of:
[tex]\frac{1x3}{2 x 3}=\frac{3}{6}[/tex]
step 3: add 3/6 and 5/6
[tex]\frac{3}{6} +\frac{5}{6} =\frac{8}{6}[/tex] when reduced, it [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] which can be left as it is, or be reduced again to, [tex]1\frac{1}{3}[/tex].
