In modular arithmetic, specifically modulo 12, 8 plus 5 equals 1. In this system, numbers "wrap around" after reaching 12, so 8 plus 5 is 13, but when divided by 12, the remainder is 1. This concept is commonly used in clock arithmetic and Music Theory to represent repeating patterns.

On a clock. 8 plus five (hours) is 1 o'clock.
5 over 8
It is: 5/81/4 will equal to 2/8, so if we add that to 3/8 it will equal to 5/8It is: 1/4 plus 3/8 = 5/8 which is the same as 2/8 plus 3/8 = 5/8
8 and 1 fourth
3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8 (a quarter = 2/8)
2/5 + 1/8 = 16/40 + 5/40 = 21/40.
