Answer:

1 19/360

Explanation:

What we know:

The addends in this equation are 7/8 and 8/45.

First, find the LCM of 8 and 45. Since 8 and 45 don't have any common factors other than 1, just multiply the two numbers.

8 * 45 = 360

After that, find the equivalent fraction for both addends

7/8 * 45/45 = 315/360

8/45 * 8/8 = 64/360

Then, add the two new fractions together, and simplify if needed.

315/360 + 64/360 = 379/360 = 1 19/360
