George studied 1/4 hour on Monday and 3/8 hour on Tuesday. How long did he study altogether on both days?
2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8
To find out how long George studied altogether on both days, you need to add the amount of time he studied on Monday and Tuesday.
On Monday, George studied for 1/4 hour.
On Tuesday, George studied for 3/8 hour.
To add fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8.
To convert 1/4 to have a denominator of 8:
1/4 * 2/2 = 2/8
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, you can add them:
2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8
Therefore, George studied altogether for 5/8 hour on both days.
