To find 1/8 + 1/2, we need to find a common denominator first. The common denominator of 8 and 2 is 8, so we can rewrite the fractions:
1/8 + 1/2 = 1/8 + 4/8
Now, we can add the numerators and keep the common denominator:
1/8 + 4/8 = 5/8
In the context of the problem, the sum 5/8 represents the total amount of the cinnamon and sugar mixture that Micah needs for sprinkling on toast.
