Question
Find the sum: $\frac{5}{8}+\frac{1}{8}$
✓
Answer
The given fractions are like fractions We know,
Sum of like fractions $=\frac{\text{Sum of the numerators}}{\text{Common denominator}}$
Thus, we have $\frac{5}{8}+\frac{1}{8}$ $=\frac{(5+1)}{8}$ $=\frac{6}{8}$ $=\frac{3}{4}$
Sum of like fractions $=\frac{\text{Sum of the numerators}}{\text{Common denominator}}$
Thus, we have $\frac{5}{8}+\frac{1}{8}$ $=\frac{(5+1)}{8}$ $=\frac{6}{8}$ $=\frac{3}{4}$
