Simple....

you have
(3)/(8) and
1 (3)/(8)

It's asking you how much Bobbi skated altogether.

So...just add...

to make it easy...see this way...


1 (3)/(8)
+

(3)/(8)

You can see it's just
(3)/(8) + (3)/(8)

=
(6)/(8)

Simplifying it...

=
(3)/(4)

Thus, your answer...
1 (3)/(4)

(A)

Okay, this is really easy:) He goes 3/8 miles and 1 and 3/8 miles. to add this together you just go across the top. Discard the 1 for a couple of seconds. so you have 3/8 + 3/8. Now go across the top so you get 6/8. simplify that, (divide by a common number, don't know if you know that or not) so, 2 in this case. you get 3/4. Your answer is 1 and 3/4. Hope this helps and isn't ridiculously confusing:)
