You have to find the least common denominator of 5 and 8. That's 40.
1/5=8/40
5/8=25/40
Add numerators.
Answer=33/40
What is the definition of Adding and Subtracting Like Fractions
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators.
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.

Least common denominator.....
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator.
The first step is to make the denominators the same.
unlike denominators: the bottom number of a fraction. to have unlike denominators you must have two fractions with a different number on the bottom of each fraction.
9 over 10
Unlike. Unlike. Unlike. Unlike.
When adding unlike fractions, find the LCM of the denominators and convert them to it.
I'm really sorry I've done this before but i just totally am thinking the same exact thing!
