Answer:
23/24 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to simplify the fractions to like terms
The <u>lowest</u> common number that 3 and 8 have in common is 24
1 x 8 = 8
3 x 8 = 24
This makes <u>8/24 </u>
5 x 3 = 15
8 x 3 = 24
This makes <u>15/24</u>
Now you can add 8/24 and 15/24
8 + 15 = 23
<u>Because it is a common denominator, we do not add it, which makes 23/24</u>
Now you simplify as much as possible (if possible)
Because 23 is not divisable by any other number, 23/24 is the simpliest form
