Given :


(3)/(4)+(3)/(8)=\text{?}

The minimum multiple of 4 and 8 = 8

So,


\begin{gathered} (3)/(4)=(2\cdot3)/(2\cdot4)=(6)/(8) \\ \\ (3)/(8)=(3)/(8) \\ \\ (3)/(4)+(3)/(8)=(6)/(8)+(3)/(8)=(6+3)/(8)=(9)/(8) \end{gathered}

So, the answer is : 9/8 units

We can convert it to a mixed number , the answer wil be = 1 1/8 units
