Answer:

19/24

Explanation:

(1/8) + (4/6)

To add fractions, the denominators must be equal. To achieve this, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by a number for each fraction for each fraction's denominator to match.

1/8 = 1/8 * 3/3 = 3/24

4/6 = 4/6 * 4/4 = 16/24

(3/24) + (16/24) = 19/24

Answer:


\begin{gathered} \boxed{ \sf(1)/(8) + (4)/(6) }= \\ \\ \boxed{ \sf(24 / 8 * 1 + 24 / 6 * 4)/(24)} = \\ \\ \boxed{\ \sf (3 +16 )/(24) }= \\ \\ \boxed{ \sf (19)/(24) }\end{gathered}Explanation:

Heterogeneous fractions are fractions that have different denominators.

To add heterogeneous fractions, we must first find the common denominator. This is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators.

Then, we must multiply the common denominator by the original denominator and multiply by the numerator.

Then, we write as numerators the results obtained previously with the sign of the sum between them.

Finally, we add the numerators and simplify the result if possible.
