Question

Tammy watched a video for 5/8 minutes. She watched another video for 1/8 minutes. For how long did she watch videos in all.

Answer 1

`(3)/(4)` minutes

Explanation:

To find how long she watched, add 1/8 to 5/8

Since they have the same denominators, we can add the numerators together and keep the same denominator.

`(1)/(8)` +
`(5)/(8)`

=
`(6)/(8)`

This can be reduced to
`(3)/(4)`, since both numbers are divisible by 2.

So, she watched videos for
`(3)/(4)` minutes

Answer 2

She watched for 6/8 minutes.

Simplified version would be 3/4 minutes.

Hope this helped! :)
