Question

What is 3/8 + 1/8 + 2/3 + 1/2 equal?

Answer 1

5/3

Explanation:

3/8 + 1/8 + 2/3 + 1/2

=> [ 3/8 + 1/8 ] + [ 2/3 + 1/2 ]

=> 1/2( or 4/8 ) + 7/6

=> 10/6 or 5/3

Answer 2

`(3)/(8) + (1)/(8) + (2)/(3) + (1)/(2)`

Add the fractions with the same common denominator

That's

`(3)/(8) + (1)/(8) = (4)/(8) = (1)/(2)`

So we have

`(1)/(2) + (2)/(3) + (1)/(2)`

Add the fractions with the same common denominator

That's

`(1)/(2) + (1)/(2) = (2)/(2) = 1`

We have

`1 + (2)/(3)`

That's

`(1)/(1) + (2)/(3)`

Find the common denominator

The common denominator is 3

`(1)/(1) + (2)/(3) = (3 + 2)/(3)`

`= (5)/(3) \: \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 1 (2)/(3)`

Hope this helps you
