$\huge{\underline{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\purple{Answer}}}}}}$

$\frac{ - 1}{ - 8} + \frac{5}{ - 24} \\ \\ = \frac{\cancel - 1}{\cancel - 8} + \frac{5}{ - 24} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{5}{ - 24 } \\ \\ \frac{1}{8} - \frac{5}{24} \\ \\ = \frac{3 - 5}{24} \\ \\ = \frac{ - 2}{24} \\ \\ - \frac{1}{12}$
