1/8 + 13/20. give answer in reduced terms.

Helloo, 1/8+13/20 = 5/40+26/40 = 31/40!

To add or subtract fractions you need to find a common denominator

8 doesn't go directly into 20 but both 8 and twenty can go into 40

so to get 8 into 40 we have to multiply both top and bottom of the fraction by 5 making 5/40

to make 20 go into 40 we have to multiply both top and bottom by 2 making

26/40

5/40+26/40

only add the top numbers

31/40

31 is a prime number so can not reduce any more

final answer is 31/40
