Answer:
1 5/32
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find common denominators. What you do to the denominator, you must do to the numerator.
First, multiply 4 to both the numerator and denominator of the second fraction:
(7/8)(4/4) = (7 * 4)/(8 * 4) = 28/32
Next, add across:
9/32 + 28/32 = 37/32
Simplify. Turn the improper fraction into a mixed fraction:
37/32 = (32 + 5)/32 = 1 5/32
1 5/32 is your answer.

Answer:
37 /32
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:
LCM of 8 and 32 is 32
For the 1st fraction, since 8 × 4 = 32,
7 /8 = 7 × 4
8 × 4 = 28 /32
Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 32 × 1 = 32,
9 /32 = 9 × 1
32 × 1 = 9 /32
Add the two fractions:
28 /32 + 9/32 = 28 + 9 /32 = 37 /32
So, 7/8 + 9/32 = 37/32
In mixed form: 1 5 /32
