##5/8##
Convert both fractions to have the same denominator.
So, we first find the lowest common multiple for 4 and 8. Which is 8,
##4 xx 2 = 8##
and ##8 xx 1 = 8##
So we multiply the numerator and the denominator of the first fraction by 2.
##1/4 xx 2/2 = 2/8##
Now we can simply add them since now they have the same denominator.
##2/8 + 3/8##
= ##(2 + 3)/8##
= ##5/8##
