Find the sum:
$\frac{5}{8}+\frac{1}{8}$
$\frac{5}{8}+\frac{1}{8}$
✓
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
$\frac{5}{8}+\frac{1}{8}$
$=\frac{(5+1)}{8}$
$=\frac{6}{8}$
$=\frac{3}{4}$
