Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, convert the fractions to have a common denominator: $ \frac{3}{8} = \frac{9}{24} $ and $ \frac{5}{6} = \frac{20}{24} $. Add the fractions: $ \frac{9}{24} + \frac{20}{24} = \frac{29}{24} = 1 \frac{5}{24} $. Add the whole numbers: $5 + 2 = 7$. Combine: $7 + 1 \frac{5}{24} = 8 \frac{5}{24}$.
