$$\frac{ 10 }{ 8 } + \frac{ 7 }{ 18 }$$

$\frac{59}{36}\approx 1.638888889$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{10}{8}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{5}{4}+\frac{7}{18}$$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $18$ is $36$. Convert $\frac{5}{4}$ and $\frac{7}{18}$ to fractions with denominator $36$.

$$\frac{45}{36}+\frac{14}{36}$$

Since $\frac{45}{36}$ and $\frac{14}{36}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{45+14}{36}$$

Add $45$ and $14$ to get $59$.

$$\frac{59}{36}$$

$\frac{59}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3 ^ {2}} = 1\frac{23}{36} = 1.6388888888888888$
