Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is:   1 \frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

First distance = 1 1/4

Second distance = 1/8

Process

Convert 1 1/4 to a improper fraction      

                                                              (4 + 1) / 4

                                                              5 / 4

Add the fractions

                        $\frac{5}{4} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{10 + 1}{8} = \frac{11}{8}$

$\frac{11}{8} = 1 \frac{3}{8}$
