Answer:
9 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. first take away the fraction part and take the whole numbers off of the numbers and add them!
1 + 3 + 5 = 9
2. now take that aside and keep that for later... now lets focus on the
1/2, 3/4, and the 1/8 these are the STARS you will be focusing on!
3. now, find the common denominator in these fractions!!!
how? here is how!
1. lets list these fractions:
1/2, 3/4, and 1/8
the common demoninator is 8 because 1. its one of the highest in this set and 2. if you multiply 1/2 and 3/4 n the numerator and the demoentator by 4 they can create a 8 denminator and then you can add them!
4. Next, I wont be explaning you just watch!
3 x2 6
_ = _
4 x2 8 (to get to 8 from 4 you multiply by 2! so you do the same for the upper one!!!)
1 x4 4
_ = _
2 x4 8
you dont do anything to 1/8 because its already part of the eights family! :D
5. I know, it took us a LONG way here but here it is! the final! now, time to add them!
4/8, 6/8 and 1/8
6. lastly...
1 1/8 + 9 = 9 1/8
Hope this helpes! sorry this was so long!!! :D
