Answer 1

The answer of this question is 3.375

Answer 2

3 3/8

Explanation:

1 3/4 + 1 5/8

We need to get a common denominator of 8

1 3/4 *2/2 + 1 5/8

1 6/8 + 1 5/8

I like to line them up vertically

1 6/8

1 5/8

---------------

2 11/8

But 11 is larger than 8 so we subtract 8/8 and add 1

2 11/8

+1 -8/8

---------------

3 3/8
