1.625 as a fraction is 1 5/8

15/8 simplified is 1 7/8

if you are using the word "and" to represent multiplication here you go:

first i would change both fractions to a mixed number

13/8×15/8=195/64
simplify

your answer would be 3 3/64

if you are using "and" to represent adding here you go:

1.625 as a fraction is 1 5/8

first i would change 1 5/8 to a mixed number: 13/8

so then add 15/8+13/8=28/8

simplify:
28÷4=7
8÷4=2

7/2=3 1/2

i hope this helped
