Sum of  

3/8

and

2/8

in Simplest Form

Given:   +
Since the denominators are common (the same), we can add the numerators:
+ = =  is in Simplest Form since the Greatest Common Factor of 5 and 8 equals 1, GCF(5, 8) = 1
Therefore, the Sum of  

3/8

and

2/8

is equal to

5/8

in Simplest Form:  

3/8
