by the following amounts: 1/8in., 3/16in., and 1/4in.

three months?
Answer with supporting work:

Answer 1

first you have to make all the fractions have a common denominator to add them so since 3/16 is the largest denominator you have to convert the others to have the denominator of 16. 1/8 = 2/16. 1/4 = 4/16. so if you add the numerators that’s 3 + 2 + 4 = 9. so the answer would be 9/16, and this cannot be simplified so it is your final answer:)
