Question

What is the answer to 3/8 + 7 5/8

Answer 1

Given the Addition:

`(3)/(8)+7(5)/(8)`

You can find the sum as follows:

1. Covert the Mixed Number to an Improper Fraction:

- Multiply the Whole Number part by the denominator of the fraction.

- Add the result to the numerator.

- The denominator does not change.

Then:

`7(5)/(8)=(5+(7\cdot8))/(8)=(5+56)/(8)=(61)/(8)`

2. Rewrite the Addition:

`=(3)/(8)+(61)/(8)`

3. Since the denominators are equal, you only need to add the numerators:

`=(3+61)/(8)=(64)/(8)`

4. Simplifying the fraction, you get:

`=8`

Hence, the answer is:

`=8`
