Not sure if I'm understanding this right but, if you take the 1 cup that James has, and add that with the 1 cup that jade has, then you divide the now 2 cups into two equal parts then... You would have 1 cup?

Answer:

Hello! The answer is 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

I had this on study island and it said 5/8, let me show you how to get this answer- (even tho there are none on here lol)

1st step- take the numbers 1/2 and 3/4 and add them (if you dont know how search it up on how to add fractions)

2nd step- once you get your answer, which is 5/4 (or 1 1/4) you divide it by two "and divides it into two equal portions"

3rd step- once you divide it (0.625) you convert it into a decimal (if you dont know how once again, search it up)

4th step- you get the answer- 5/8

I hope this helped whoever needed it! <3
