Create a common denominator and add.
Let me do two of them for you:
1 1/2
=2/2 + 1/2 >>> Convert the 1
=3/2
5 1/8
=40/8 + 1/8 >>> Convert the 5
=41/8
Now make a common denominator by multiplying by a form of 1 and since 8 is the common denominator:
3/2 = 4/4 * 3/2 = 12/8
Now do this for the other numbers and add them up.

Are you simply trying to add the numbers:
1 1/2
8 3/4
5 1/8
1 1/4
All you need to do is find a common denominator, which is "8"
So you need to add 12/8 + 70/8 + 41/8 + 10/8
to get (12+70+41+10)/8
= 133/8
Which is 16 5/8

add whole numbers
1+8+5+1 = 15
set fractions to common denominator
1/2--> 4/8
3/4-->6/8
1/8--.1/8
1/4-->2/8
add numerators
13/8 or 1 5/8
add
15+1 5/8 = 16 5/8
