No. 5/8+5/8=10/8=1 1/4
First of all it is not reduced and secondly it is an improper fraction.
We normally call what you have said a common fraction.

An improper fraction is when the numerator is a greater sum then the denominator. Example- 10/5. To change that into a proper fraction you divide the numerator by the denominator. Example - 2 1/5
What is the sum of a whole number part and the fractions part called?
The sum of a whole number and a fraction is called a mixed number.
How do you calculate the sum of fractions?
If the fractions do not all have the same denominator, find a common multiple of the denominators (ideally the lowest common multiple) and convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with this denominator. Now with all the fractions with the same denominator, add together the numerators. Finally, reduce the fraction to simplest terms, converting any improper fraction to a mixed number.

When you estimate the sum of 2 fractions the estimate is never a whole number?
The sum of two fractions will only be a whole number if the fractions have a common denominator. When the denominators are different, the sum will be a fraction with a different denominator, making it impossible to be a whole number. Thus, estimating the sum of two fractions will generally result in a fraction, not a whole number.
What two proper fractions sum up close to 1 without being equal to or more than 1?
this is a simple question. There are, however, a lot of answers. They all depend on your definition of "proper fraction". The simplest answer is 1/2 and 49999999..../100000000..... you need to specify "proper fraction" definitions if you wish to get an answer out of this one.
