Personally I would say the easiest way is to convert the fraction's into decimal and then add the results.

For example

1/2 + 1/2 + 1/4 = 0.5+0.5+0.25 = 1.25 (1 and a quarter)

1/8 + 1/4 = 0.125 + 0.25 = 0.375 (just over a third)

Although this doesn't give you a true fraction result it will give you a measurement.

I'm sure someone will know how to do proper fractional addition out there or a library may be of use. I may be wrong but i think that to convert back into a fraction you would probably need a logarithmic (reference) table of some kind to calculate all or some of the possible values. Good luck with finding out!
