Answer 1

`\boxed{\boxed{\sf(11)/(8)=1(3)/(8) =1.375}}`

Solution Steps:

______________________________

1.) Find the LCF of 8 and 4:

• 
  `8,4=8`

- We do this because in order to add the fractions together, they have to have the same denominator. In this case you find the LCF, (Least Common Factor) of 8 and that turns into the denominator for both.

2.) Convert the fractions to have the same denominator:

• 
  `(5)/(8)=(5)/(8)`

• 
  `(3)/(4)=(6)/(8)`

-
`(5)/(8)` stays the same, but
`(3)/(4)` changes to
`(6)/(8)` because the LCF if 8, and to get to 8 we had to multiply 4 by 2. So since we multiplied the denominator, you must do the same to the numerator, hence why we went from 3 to 6.

3.) Add the numerators:

• 
  `5+6=11`

- Since
`(5)/(8)` and
`(6)/(8)` have the same denominator, all you have to do is add the numerator.
