First, since you are adding, you would need to determine a common denominator. It would be 24.

(9)/(8) =
(27)/(24)

(1)/(3) =
(8)/(24)

Next, you would plug them back into the equation.

(27)/(24) +
(27)/(24)

Now, all you would have to do is solve it and then simplify the sum.

(27)/(24) +
(27)/(24) =
(35)/(24) = 1
(11)/(24)

The answer should be 1
(11)/(24)

I hope this helps!
