Answer:

3/8

Explanation:

This seems much more like a step-by-step explanation without the answer. Therefore, there is only the answer required for this question as the step-by-step explanation is, well, already given... Either way, below is my explanation.

The fractions 1/4 and 1/8 added together equal 3/8. One over four has to be changed to two over eight for the denominators to be the same. After that, 2/8 plus 1/8 equals 3/8, as the nominators are added while the denominators are left the same.
