All you do is convert 1/2 to 1/8. So ask the question, 'What can I multiply on both sides to make 1/2 into 1/8?' The answer is 4 times.So the equation would become:
1/2×4/4
The answer becomes 4/8. So now that both denominators are 8, add.
4/8+1/8=5/8
Your final answer equals 5/8.
Hope this helps!!:)
