hey, it's nice to see a problem posted that shows some thought and effort.
To check the answer for the addition of 2/8 and 6/12, let's break down the steps:
Step 1: Find a common denominator for the fractions.
The denominators in this case are 8 and 12. The least common multiple of 8 and 12 is 24, so we will use 24 as the common denominator.
Step 2: Convert both fractions to have the common denominator.
To convert 2/8 to have a denominator of 24, we need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 3. This gives us 6/24.
To convert 6/12 to have a denominator of 24, we need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2. This gives us 12/24.
Step 3: Add the two fractions.
We add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same, so we have 6/24 + 12/24.
Step 4: Simplify the fraction.
Since the numerator and denominator have a common factor of 6, we can simplify the fraction. Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6 gives us 1/4.
Therefore, the correct answer for 2/8 + 6/12 is 1/4.
Based on the initial calculation you provided, it seems that your answer of 3/4 is incorrect. The correct answer is indeed 1/4.
