Answer:

  • 2 3/8

Explanation:

To convert a mixed fraction into an improper fraction, we must multiply the whole number with the denominator, then add the numerator to the multiplication. The denominator of the mixed fraction will be the denominator of the improper fraction.

  • 1 1/4 + 1 1/8
  • => {(4 x 1) + 1}/4 + {(8 x 1) + 1}/8
  • => {4 + 1}/4 + {8 + 1}/8
  • => 5/4 + 9/8
  • => 10/8 + 9/8
  • => 19/8 = 2 3/8

Hence, 2 3/8 is the answer.
