The days in the week whose names don't begin with 'T' are Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. I counted them, and found that there are five (5) of them. Then I counted the number of days in a full week, no matter how they're spelled. I counted seven (7) that time. The ratio of 5 to 7 is. 5:7 or 5/7.
Here you'll want to add 5/8 with 5/8. Since they have the same denominator already then 5/8+5/8 = 10/8. Simplifying that down to 5/4 then changing to a mixed number is 1 1/4 inches.
