Answer:
B) 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Because we are working with fractions that have different denominators, we need to find the lowest common denominator, which would be 8, because 1/8 cannot be divided anymore in 2 or 4, but 1/2 can be multiplied in eighths.
So, to make 1/2 into eighths, we have to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4 in order for 2 to become 8:
1/2 * 4 = 4/8
Now, we can add the amounts of the total granola bar that he consumed:
4/8 + 1/8 = 5/8
Because 5/8 cannot be simplified any further, that is our final answer.
Hope this helps :)
