$$\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{3}$$

$\frac{19}{12}\approx 1.583333333$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $3$ is $12$. Convert $\frac{5}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ to fractions with denominator $12$.

$$\frac{15}{12}+\frac{4}{12}$$

Since $\frac{15}{12}$ and $\frac{4}{12}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{15+4}{12}$$

Add $15$ and $4$ to get $19$.

$$\frac{19}{12}$$

$\frac{19}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 1\frac{7}{12} = 1.5833333333333333$
