Question

Add.

1/8 + 4/8 = ?

A. 5/8

B. 5/16

C. 4/8

D. 4/16

Answer 1

The numerators add together, while the denominators stay the same.

4+1=5

So, the answer is A, 5/8.

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{(1)/(8) + (4)/(8)}`

`\mathsf{= (1)/(8) + (4/2)/(8/2)}`

`\mathsf{= (1)/(8) + (2)/(4)}`

`\mathsf{= (1)/(8) + (2*2)/(4*2)}`

`\mathsf{= (1)/(8) + (4)/(8)}`

`\mathsf{= (1 + 4)/(8 + 0)}`

`\mathsf{= (5)/(8)}`

`\huge\textsf{Therefore, the answer should be:}`

`\huge\boxed{\frak{Option\ \mathsf{A. \ } (5)/(8)}}\huge\checkmark`
