First, we can add together the whole numbers: 5+3=8. Now, we can simplify the fractions into decimals; which 1/2 is equal to 0.5, because 0.5 is half of one. If we add 0.5 and 0.5 we get 1. So, 1+8=9. Whether you add via decimals or fractions, you get the same answer. Therefore, the answer is 9. (Sorry, if this doesn't make sense! It's my first time answering a question on here!)
