For this case we must simplify the following expression:
[tex]\frac {2} {3} + \frac {5} {8}[/tex]
Then, we add the fractions making cross product:
[tex]\frac {2} {3} + \frac {5} {8} = \frac {8 * 2 + 3 * 5} {3 * 8} = \frac {16 + 15} {24} = \frac {31 } {24}[/tex]
Thus, the fraction can not be simplified.
How mixed number we have:
[tex]\frac {31} {24} = 1 \frac {7} {24}[/tex]
ANswer:
[tex]\frac {31} {24}[/tex]
