Answer 1

Hello!

To convert
`(3)/(4)` to a fraction with a denominator of 8, multiply the fraction by
`(2)/(2)`;
`(2)/(2) =1`, so the fraction is equivalent, but would have an increased numerator and denominator.


`(3)/(4) * (2)/(2) = (6)/(8)`

Your new fraction is
`(6)/(8)`. Add it to
`(5)/(8)`:


`(6)/(8) + (5)/(8) = (11)/(8)`

Now we must convert it to a mixed number. To do that, divide 11 by 8.

Answer:

`1 (3)/(8)`

Answer 2

3/4= x/8
3 is to 4 as x is to 8
cross multiply
(3*8)= (4*x)
24= 4x
divide both sides by 4
6= x

3/4= 6/8

Or 4 goes into 8 two times. Multiply 3 by two, which equals 6

Add 6/8 to 5/8:
6/8 + 5/8
=11/8
=1 3/8 mixed number

ANSWER: 6/8 and 1 3/8

Hope this helps! :)
