Answer:

2 9/40

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert 1 1/2 to an improper fraction

2. Find a common factor so that the denominators are the same.

2. Add numerators.

3. Simplify.

First, change [tex]1 \frac{1}{2}[/tex] to [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex].

Then, you can start adding.

[tex]\frac{3}{2}+\frac{3}{5}=\frac{15}{10}+\frac{6}{10}=\frac{21}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{21}{10}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{84}{40}+\frac{5}{40}=\frac{89}{40}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{89}{40} = 2 \frac{9}{40}[/tex]
