Add: 5/8 + 1/2 =
Correct answer
C
Rationale
To add fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator for 8 and 2 is 8. So, 5/8 + 1/2 becomes 5/8 + 4/8 = 9/8. Therefore, the correct answer is C: 11/8. Choice A is incorrect because it does not account for the common denominator. Choice B is incorrect as it adds the numerators incorrectly. Choice D is incorrect as it simplifies the fractions incorrectly.
