Add the quantities of regular milk and soy milk consumed;


\begin{gathered} \text{Total}=2(5)/(8)+2(7)/(8) \\ \text{Total}=(21)/(8)+(23)/(8) \\ \text{Total}=(21+23)/(8) \\ \text{Total}=(44)/(8) \\ \text{Total}=(11)/(2) \\ \text{Total}=5(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

Therefore, they drank 5 1/2 cartons of milk altogether
