Answer:

7/8 or 0.875

Explanation:

1/8 + 3/4=?

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8 and 4 is 8. Multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by whatever value will result in the denominator of each fraction being equal to the LCM:

1/8 + 3/4= 1/8 + 3 x 2 = 1/8 + 6/8

4 x 2

Now that the fractions have like denominators, add the numerators:

1/8 + 6/8 = 1+6 = 7/8

8
