Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to put the same base for both numbers, finding the minimum common multiple of 4 and 8, that's 8.

Turning 1/4 in a number with 8 as base: first, divide 8 : 4 = 2. Then multiply 1/4 x2 and it will be 2/8.

Then you're able to calculate it: keep the base and add the tops

2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8
