Need to find the common denominator for the fractions which is 120.

Multiply by 60 for 1/6 . Multiply by 24 for 1/5. Multiply by 20 for 2/6. Multiply by 15 for 1/8.

(1)(60)/(2)(60)+(1)(24)/)5)(24)+(2)(20)/(6)(20)+(1)(15)+(8)(15)

= 60/120+18/120+40/120+15/120

= 78/120+55/120

= 139/120 or in mixed number : 1 19/120

Answer: 139/120 , 1 19/120
