Hi!

Your answer would be 7/8

Here's the math to prove it:

Step 1) You need to find the common denominator.

Its 8

Step 2) Make all of your denominators 8.

1/8 already has a denominator of 8, so it is okay.

3/4 on the other hand doesn't have a denominator of 8.

To change it you would have to do this:

3*2=?

- -

4*2=8

3*2=6

Step 3) Now we will take 1/8 and add it to 6/8

We get 7/8

This is in simplest form.

Thus, 7/8 is your answer

I hope this helped!

Have a good day/night!

God bless!
