1) convert both fractions into improper fractions (you can do so by multiplying the whole number by the denominator/bottom part and then adding that to the numerator/top part)
by doing this, you will get 51/8 and 37/5
2) since you need a common denominator in order to add the two fractions, multiply the top and bottom of 51/8 by 5. Then, multiply the top and bottom of 37/5 by 8.
3) Then, add the top numbers together and your answer will be 551/40, which can be simplified into 13 31/40
