jackie brought 3/4 gallon of ice tea to a party

bill brought 7/8 of a gallon of ice tea to party.

To find total gallons of ice tea they hav
(3)/(4) + (7)/(8)e, we add the fractions


(3)/(4) + (7)/(8)

To add two fractions , we make the denominators same


(3*2)/(4*2) + (7)/(8)


(6)/(8) + (7)/(8)

Now add the numerators


(13)/(8)

So, They have
1(5)/(8) gallons of ice tea.
