Answer:

23/24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to simplify the fractions to like terms

The lowest common number that 3 and 8 have in common is 24

1 x 8 = 8

3 x 8 = 24

This makes 8/24

5 x 3 = 15

8 x 3 = 24

This makes 15/24

Now you can add 8/24 and 15/24

8 + 15 = 23

Because it is a common denominator, we do not add it, which makes 23/24

Now you simplify as much as possible (if possible)

Because 23 is not divisable by any other number, 23/24 is the simpliest form
