Question

1/2,1/3,1/8 find the sum

Answer 1

23/24

Explanation:

To find the sum you must ad.

Fractions can only be added and subtracted when the denominators (the bottom numbers) are the same.

24 is the smallest number that 2, 3 and 8 go into.

1/2 = 12/24, 1/3 = 8/24, 1/8 = 3/24

`(12)/(24) + (8)/(24) + (3)/(24) = (23)/(24)`

23/24
