3/8+3/4=
what a LOT of work!!
3/8 + 3/4 = 3/8 + 6/8 = 9/8
Yes, you are correct! That is a simpler way to add these fractions. I apologize for the extra steps in my explanation. Thank you for correcting me!
To solve this addition problem, you need to find a common denominator. The denominator is the bottom number of a fraction.
The denominators for 3/8 and 3/4 are 8 and 4 respectively.
To find a common denominator, you can multiply the two denominators together, which gives you 32.
Next, you need to convert the fractions so that they have the same denominator.
To convert 3/8, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4, giving you 12/32.
To convert 3/4, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 8, giving you 24/32.
Now that the fractions have the same denominator, you can add the numerators together and write the sum over the common denominator.
12/32 + 24/32 = 36/32.
This fraction can be simplified. Both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 4, so dividing both by 4 gives you:
36 ÷ 4 / 32 ÷ 4 = 9/8.
Therefore, 3/8 + 3/4 = 9/8.
To add these fractions, we first need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 4 is 8.
3/8 + 3/4
To convert 3/8 to have a denominator of 8, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2:
3/8 = 3/8 * 2/2 = 6/16
So we have:
6/16 + 3/4
To convert 3/4 to have a denominator of 8, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2:
3/4 = 3/4 * 2/2 = 6/8
Now we have:
6/16 + 6/8
We can combine these fractions by finding a common denominator (which is already 16):
6/16 + 6/8 = 6/16 + 12/16
Now we can add the numerators and keep the common denominator:
18/16
We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2:
18/16 = 9/8
So:
3/8 + 3/4 = 9/8
