    Find a number that 9,3, and 8 all can multiply to.

    A number is 72.

    for 1/9 to go to 72, you have to multiply 9*8, therefore, you will need to multiply 1*8

    The first fraction is 8/72

    Next, you'll do 2/3 of 72. To do this, divide 72 by 3.

    You'll get 24. Then multiply by 2.

    Your second fraction is 48/72

    Finally, you'll do 5/8 of 72.

    First, divide 72 by 8. Then multiply by 5.

    You'll get 45

    45/72

    For the last step, add them.

    8/72 + 48/72 + 45/72

    you'll get : 101/72 (simplest form)

    1.4 (divided)

    1 and 29/72 (improper fraction)
