First Find a common denominator
1/6 and 7/8 have the number 24 in common
so write 24 as ur common denominator
1/6 /24
+7/8 /24
divide the bottom denominator
8/24 & 6/24
and multiply it times ur numerator
3*7 and 4*1
Then add the answers together
21+4=25
Your answer is 25/24

If you mean:
1/6 +7/8
Find common denominator:
4/24 +21/24=25/24=1 1/24

well 1 over 6 would be 7 and 7+7 over 8 = 8+14=22
or if your meaning 1/6 + 7/8 = 25/24
I am just guessing on given info!

In the absense of brackets you have to give priority to multiplication, division, addition and subtraction in that order.
So you number would have to be
1/6 + 7/8 = 25/24
