Answer 2

Hi there!

To add fractions there are three simple steps:

1. Make sure the bottom numbers (denominators) are the same. → In your case you're all good, both your denominators are 8.

2. Add the top numbers (numerators) and put that answer over the denominator :

-3 + 7 = 4 →
`(4)/(8)`

3. Simplify the fraction (if needed). → In your case, you do need to simplify your fraction :

Divide both your numerator and denominator by 4 to get your simplified fraction :

4 ÷ 4 = 1

8 ÷ 4 = 2

Your simplified fraction is :
`(1)/(2)`

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
