Answer 1

Zalika might have added the fractions 7/8 and 6/8 to get 1 5/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find two fractions that Zalika might have added to get 1 5/8, we can start by converting 1 5/8 to an improper fraction. 1 can be written as 8/8, so the mixed number 1 5/8 is equal to (8/8) + (5/8) = 13/8.

Now, we need to find two fractions with different denominators that add up to 13/8.

One possible pair of fractions is 7/8 and 6/8. Adding these fractions gives us (7/8) + (6/8) = 13/8, which is equal to 1 5/8.
