$$1 / 2 + 7 / 8 + 4 / 4$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{19}{8}=2.375$$

Solution Steps

Divide 4 by 4 to get 1.

$$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{7}{8}+1$$

Least common multiple of 2 and 8 is 8. Convert \frac{1}{2} and \frac{7}{8} to fractions with denominator 8.

$$\frac{4}{8}+\frac{7}{8}+1$$

Since \frac{4}{8} and \frac{7}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{4+7}{8}+1$$

Add 4 and 7 to get 11.

$$\frac{11}{8}+1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{8}{8}.

$$\frac{11}{8}+\frac{8}{8}$$

Since \frac{11}{8} and \frac{8}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{11+8}{8}$$

Add 11 and 8 to get 19.

$$\frac{19}{8}$$

Factor

$$\frac{19}{2 ^ {3}} = 2\frac{3}{8} = 2.375$$
