Answer 1

Answer: 5 5/8
Reasoning:

Find the similar denominator between the two fractions, in this case it’s 8. The number 4 can get to 8 by multiplying by 2 so you multiply it by 2 also with the numerator. Add together and you have an improper fraction, if you convert it into a mixed fraction you should get 5 5/8
