Question

Find 2 1/8 + 6 5/8
A 8 3/8
B 8 1/2
C 8 7/8
D 8 3/4

Answer 1

It is C because you add the whole numbers then because if the common denominators you only add the top numbers  and it cannot be simplified resulting in 8 7/8

Answer 2

Add 2 and 5 then 1/8 and 5/8 to get 8 6/8. Then simplify by 2 to get D
