Answer:

1/6

Explanation:

Step 1: Make remaining mixed numbers improper fractions:

8 1/5 = ((8*5)+1)/5 = 41/5

-8 2/5 = -((8*5)+2)/5 = -42/5

Step 2: Order fractions from least to greatest:

-26/3 <- Least

-42/5

-54/7

41/5

53/6 <- Greatest

Step 3: Find the sum of the least and greatest fractions:

Given: -26/3+53/6

Make equivalent fractions: -52/6+53/6

Rearrange: 53/6-52/6

Evaluate: (53-52)/6 = 1/6

Therefore, the sum of the greatest and least numbers is 1/6
