Answer: 2 5/8 hours ( 2 hours and 38 mins [rounded])
Step-by-step explanation: For the best experience, look at the attachment:
So, first I took the numbers and set up an addition problem. But we have a problem. They both don't have the same denominator. So first, we need to find a common denominator before we add. So, luckily we know that 2 is a factor of 8. So 1/8 would stay the same and we'd multiply the 2 by 4 to get the denominator, and 1 by 4 to get the denominator. Then, you'd add 2 1/8 to 4/8 to get 2 5/8. Also, I converted 5/8 of an hour to get 37.5 mins, so I rounded up to 2 hrs and 38 mins.
