Add the fractions from the picture provided to create .a mixed number and
a) The fractions in the picture are 1/4 and 3/8.
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 8 is 8.
So, we rewrite the fractions with a common denominator of 8:
1/4 = 2/8
3/8 = 3/8
Now, we can add the fractions together:
2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8
The sum of the fractions is 5/8.
To convert the improper fraction 5/8 into a mixed number, we divide the numerator (5) by the denominator (8):
5 ÷ 8 = 0 remainder 5
The whole number part of the mixed number is the quotient (0), and the fraction part is the remainder over the denominator:
0 5/8
Therefore, the mixed number created by adding the fractions from the picture is 0 5/8.
