Basically you set it up 43/8+26/5. When you do that multiply 5 by 8 so the donominiter will be 40. Then multiply 5 by 43 which is 215 and 8 by 26 which is 208 so now you have the same donominiter ... 215/40+208/40 add 215 to 208 that's 423/40 then you see how many times does 40 divide into 423 that's 10 and then you had 23 left so put 10 23/4. if it was a case like 10 3/12 you could simplify it and that would be 10 1/4 ...
