Answer: The project is 7/8 painted.
Step-by-step explanation: Add 1/8 to 3/4 for the total.
Use the least common denominator, /8
3/4 is equivalent to 6/8.
6/8 + 1/8 = 7/8
Step-by-step explanation: To find how much of the wall Maya painted, we will add the two fractions. Let's do it step-by-step.
1. These fractions have unlike denominators, to make them alike, we have to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator).
3/4 = 6/8
1/8 = 1/8
Note: What you did to the bottom, you do to the top.
1a. I multiplied 2 by 3 and 4 to get 6/8.
1b. I multiplied 1 by 1 and 8 to get 1/8.
2. Since we have like denominators, we can add!
[tex]Solve:\frac{6}{8} +\frac{1}{8} = \frac{7}{8}[/tex]
Therefore, your answer is 7/8. The fraction don't need to be reduced to lowest terms.
