Alexandria Cobb · Answer 1

Adding/subtracting fractions require that they have common denominators ...

1/8+2/3

(1/8) (3/3) + (2/3) (8/8)

3/24+16/24

19/24 (that is simplified as 19 is prime)

Mccullough · Answer 2

1/8 + 2/3 = 19/24

I/you have walked 19/24 miles total, since 19/24 can't be simplified.
