Given:
[tex]\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{8}[/tex]To simplify:
Explanation:
First, let us take LCM of 4 and 8.
The LCM is 8.
Let us make the denominator the same.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{1\times2}{4\times2}+\frac{3}{8} \\ =\frac{2}{8}+\frac{3}{8} \\ =\frac{2+3}{8} \\ =\frac{5}{8} \end{gathered}[/tex]Final answer:
The simplest form of the given problem is,
[tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
