⚫⚪⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫

A. 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4
B. 1/4 + 1/8 = 3/8
C. 1/2 + 1/8 = 5/8
D. 3/4 + 2/8 = 1​

Answer 1

1/8 + 1/2 = 5/8

Explanation:

Total number of beads = 8

Number of green beads = 4

Number of yellow beads = 1

Fraction of green beads :

Number of green / total number of bead = 4 / 8 = 1/2

Fraction of yellow beads :

Number of yellow / total number of bead = 1 / 8

Number of green or yellow bead :

1/8 + 1/2 = (1 + 4) / 8 = 5/8
