Answer:

B

Explanation:

given


(1)/(4) +
(3)/(8)

before adding we require both fractions to have a common denominator

multiplying the numerator/ denominator of
(1)/(4) by 2

=
(1(2))/(4(2)) +
(3)/(8)

=
(2)/(8) +
(3)/(8)

now add the numerators , over the common denominator of 8

=
(2+3)/(8)

=
(5)/(8)
