Answer:

57/40

Explanation:

So we need to find the LCD, or the least common denominator. The LCD is 40. Now, we do a transition to find the new numerator.


(4)/(5) =(x)/(40) \\\\\\frac{5}{8} = (x)/(40)

The new equation is this:


(32)/(40) +(25)/(40)

Now we use our common sense. 32+25=57

57/40.

You can't simplify this...
