Answer: 6 and 29/40

Step-by-step explanation: To add mixed numbers, first add the fractions.

Since 1/8 and 3/5 are unlike fractions, we first need to find a common denominator. The common denominator for 5 and 8 will be the least common multiple of 5 and 8 which is 40.

So we multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/8 by 5 to get 5/40. To get a 40 in the denominator of 3/5, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 8 to get the equivalent fraction 24/40.

Now we can add the fractions.

So here, we have 5/40 + 24/40 which is 29/40.

Then add the whole numbers.

So we have 4 + 2 which is 6 so our answer is 6 and 29/40.
