Solution Steps

Step 1: Find a common denominator

The denominators are 2 and 8. The least common denominator (LCD) is 8.

Step 2: Convert fractions to have the common denominator

Convert \(\frac{1}{2}\) to a fraction with denominator 8: \[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 4}{2 \times 4} = \frac{4}{8} \]

Step 3: Add the fractions

Add \(\frac{4}{8}\) and \(\frac{1}{8}\): \[ \frac{4}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{8} \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\frac{5}{8} \text{ teaspoon}}\)
