Answer:

Sum: 19/24

Explanation:

Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) between the denominators, then multiple the corresponding numerators. For example: GCF of 6 and 8 is 24. 24/8 is 3, so 1/8 would turn into 3/24. 24/6 is 4, so 4/6 would turn into 16/24. Then you add the two, and you get 19/24.
