Answer:

57/40

Explanation:

Find common denominators, note that what you do to the denominator, you must do to the numerator:


(numerator)/(denominator)

First, multiply 5/8 with 5 to both the numerator and denominator:

(5/8) x (5/5) = 25/40

Next, multiply 4/5 with 8 to both the numerator and denominator:

(4/5) x (8/8) = 32/40

Combine the numerators:

(25 + 32)/40 = (57)/40

57/40 is your answer.
