Which expression has the sum of 6/8
A ( 1/2 plus 2/4 )
B ( 2/4 plus 1/4 )
C ( 7/8 plus 1/8 )
D ( 2/12 plus 2/6 )
The correct expression that has a sum of 6/8 is B (2/4 plus 1/4).
To solve the problem, we need to find an expression that adds up to 6/8.
Let's add the fractions in expression A:
1/2 + 2/4 = (2/4) + (2/4) = 4/4 = 1
1 is not equal to 6/8, so expression A is incorrect.
Let's add the fractions in expression B:
2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4
3/4 is not equal to 6/8, so expression B is incorrect.
Let's add the fractions in expression C:
7/8 + 1/8 = 8/8 = 1
1 is not equal to 6/8, so expression C is incorrect.
Let's add the fractions in expression D:
2/12 + 2/6 = (2/12) + (4/12) = 6/12 = 1/2
1/2 is not equal to 6/8, so expression D is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct expression is B (2/4 plus 1/4).
