Hey there!

Here is your answer:

The proper answer to this question is option "
(109)/(8)


Reason:

First write down the equation:

8
(1)/(2)+5
(1)/(8)


Transform the mixed numbers into improper fractions.

8
(1)/(2)=
(17)/(2)

&
5
(1)/(8)=

(41)/(8)


Now add:

17×4=68
2×4=8
+
41×1=41
8×1=8
68+41=109

=
(109)/(8)


Therefore the answer would be 109/8!

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!
