Answer

1 and 1-8.

Explanation

First, you have to make both denominators the same because you cannot add differing denominators. The Lowest common multiple of 2 and 8 is 8, so you have to convert 1-2 to 4-8, which is an equivalent fraction. You then add 4+5 to get 9. (The denominator doesn't change when you add a fraction) 9-8 is an improper fraction, so you change it to 1 and 1-8.
