Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We must first find the LCD in order to add up the amounts taken from the basket.

The Least Common Denominator of 4 and 8 is 8.

We convert 1/4 so that it is a fraction over 8, which is 2/8

2/8+1/8=3/8

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the total amount of cherries that Robin and Jim took

1/4 + 1/8

The common denominator is 8

1/4 *2/2 = 2/8

Replacing 1/4 with 2/8

2/8 + 1/8 = 3/8

The fraction that they took is 3/8
