Answer:


2a+5(b)/(4)+3a+2(b)/(8)

First multiply by 8


2\cdot8a+5\cdot8\cdot(b)/(4)+3\cdot8\cdot a+2(b)/(8)\cdot8

We multiple and divide where we can


16a+10b+24a+2b

And now it's simple

30a+12b

Answer:

Explanation:

Combine like terms


2a + (5b)/(4)+3a + (2b)/(8)=2a + 3a +(5b)/(4)+(2b)/(8)\\\\ = 2a + 3a + (5b)/(4)+(b)/(4)\\\\= 5a + (5b+b)/(4)\\\\= 5a +(6b)/(4)\\\\= 5a + (3b)/(2)
