Answer:

To add two fractions that do not have a common denominator, put both fractions on the same denominator.
WARNING: when you multiply the denominator by a number, you must multiply the numerator by the same number.
here the common denominator is 8
we put 3/4 under denominator 8 (3*2)/(4*2)= 6/8
we have: 6/8 + 5/8 = we add the numerators, we maintain the denominator 8
solution :
3/4 + 5/ 8 = 6/8 + 5/8 = 11/8
