If you want to use a calculator, then you can just use the fraction button. To do it mentally or on paper, find a common denominator. What is a common multiple of 4, 8, and 3? Well 4 goes into 8, so 8*3 will produce 24. 24 is a common denominator. Multiply 1/4 by 6 to get 6/24 Multiply 1/8 by 3 to get 3/24 Multiply 1/3 by 8 to get 8/24 Add these together to get 17/24. Multiply it by 4 to get 68/24 which is simplified to 17/6, which is the same as 2 5/6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First what you need to do is find a common denominator. Which in this case is 24. Then convert all of them, and add them all together and multiply it by 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nevermind don't listen to that. It made sense in my head, but not on paper
