Answer: 7/8

Explanation:

The easiest way to do this is to find a common denominator, so first we find out 2 times how much equals 8? 2x4 = 8. So with 8 being our common denominator, we have to multiple 4 to every number in the fraction 1/2. So 1x4 = (4/8) = 2x4. Then you just add the top numbers, so 4 + 3 = 7 and keep the denominator. 7/8.
