$$\frac { 5 } { 8 } + 1 \frac { 4 } { 7 }$$

$\frac{123}{56}\approx 2.196428571$

Multiply $1$ and $7$ to get $7$.

$$\frac{5}{8}+\frac{7+4}{7}$$

Add $7$ and $4$ to get $11$.

$$\frac{5}{8}+\frac{11}{7}$$

Least common multiple of $8$ and $7$ is $56$. Convert $\frac{5}{8}$ and $\frac{11}{7}$ to fractions with denominator $56$.

$$\frac{35}{56}+\frac{88}{56}$$

Since $\frac{35}{56}$ and $\frac{88}{56}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{35+88}{56}$$

Add $35$ and $88$ to get $123$.

$$\frac{123}{56}$$

$\frac{3 \cdot 41}{2 ^ {3} \cdot 7} = 2\frac{11}{56} = 2.1964285714285716$
