Question

What is 1/6 plus 3/8 all together

Answer 1

13/24

Explanation:

first find the least common denominator

we need to list the numbers

6 12 18 24

8 16 24

the least number is 24 of the list of multiples

for 1/6 you multiplied 6 by 4 to get 24 so you need to multiply 1 by 4 to get 4

so you have 4/24

then you multiply 8 by 3 to get 24 so you need to multiply 3 by 3 to get 9

so now you add 9 and 4 to get 13/24

Answer 2

`(1)/(6) + (3)/(8) = (1* 4)/(6* 4) + (3* 3)/(8* 3) = (4)/(24) + (9)/(24) = (9+4)/(24) = \boxed{(13)/(24)}}`
