Answer 1

57/8

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer would be 8 1/4 because we have to, so if we add it would look like this: 8 1/8=65/8
65/8+1/6=390/48+6/48 because we have to multiply the denominators and numerators since
they are not equal.

The answer would be 396/48 its an improper one so late make a mixed number, which is 8 12/48,and let’s also simplify it which would be 8 1/4

Answer: 8 1/4
