Imagine a pizza cut into 4 equal pieces. Each piece is 1/4 of the pizza.
If you cut each of those 4 pieces in half, you'll have 8 pieces. Now each piece is 1/8 of the pizza.

For your problem, you need to have a common denominator.
Can you take it from here?
(1/4)*(2/2)=2/8
(1/4)=(2/8)
(1/4)+(1/8)= (2/8)+(1/8) =3/8
hello! bosnian, thank you for taking your value time to help me out. yeah, i got it..
thank you !
Sure, I'd be happy to explain step by step!
To solve the equation 1/4 + 1/8, we need to find a common denominator. The denominator, or the bottom number, represents the number of equal parts into which a whole is divided.
In this case, the common denominator is 8, since both fractions have denominators that are multiples of 8.
Let's break down the steps:
Step 1: Find a common denominator
The denominators are 4 and 8. Since 8 is also divisible by 4, we don't need to change it. Therefore, the common denominator is 8.
Step 2: Adjust the fractions
Since the denominator of the first fraction is 4, we need to multiply both the numerator and denominator of that fraction by 2. This gives us 2/8. The second fraction remains the same as 1/8.
Step 3: Add the adjusted fractions
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add them together. 2/8 + 1/8 equals 3/8.
So, 1/4 + 1/8 equals 3/8.
I hope that explanation helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
