Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
We are trying to combine the terms [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex].
To do this, we need all of the terms to have the same common denominator, in this case, a common denominator of 8.
We will need to multiply [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] by [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex] to get [tex]\frac{10}{8}[/tex]. We are able to do this without changing the actual problem; we are only making the problem look different, but have the same meaning and value.
Now, we we combines the terms, we get the answer to be [tex]\frac{17}{8}[/tex].
