Question 252960
Here is your original question:
{{{1/6 + 5/8}}}  
--
When you add or subtract fractions, follow these steps:
(1) get a common denominator
we don't have one so we have to find it. Least common multiple of 6 and 8 is 24.
--
(2) change your numerators. 
1/6 - -> 4/24
5/8 - -> 15/25
Now we have
{{{4/24 + 15/24}}}
--
(3) add, or subtract, the numerator. In this case we add only the tops to get  
19/24
--
(4) reduce if needed.
we cant, so our final answer is:
{{{19/24}}}
