Answer 2

Find the least common multiple of 8 and 40 which is 40. The denominator will be 40. For 8 to get to 40 we have to multiply the top number by five since 8 x 5 is 40.

So we will have:

5/40

9/40 already has 40 as its denominator so we will keep the fraction like that:


5/40 + 9/40 = 14/40


14/40 can be simplified by 2.


7/20




So the answer is 7/20.
