Answer:

4 11/24

Step-by-step explanation:

2+1=3

5/8*6=30/48

5/6*8=40/48

30/48+40/48=70/48

70/48=1 22/48

3+1=4

22/48=11/24

4+11/24=4 11/24

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]2\frac{5}{8}+1\frac{5}{6}=2+1+\frac{5}{8}+\frac{5}{6}\\\\=3+\frac{5}{8}+\frac{5}{6}\\\\[/tex]

Least common denominator of 6 & 8 = 24

[tex]=3+\frac{5*3}{8*3}+\frac{5*4}{6*4}\\\\=3+\frac{15}{24}+\frac{20}{24}\\\\=3+\frac{15+20}{24}\\\\=3+\frac{35}{24}\\\\=3+1\frac{11}{24}\\\\=4\frac{11}{24}\\[/tex]
