$\huge\mathbb\blue{AnSwEr}$

To evaluate it by addition ,

we can cross multiply the given fractions so,

$\sf : \implies\frac{4}{3} + \frac{7}{8}$

$\sf : \implies \frac{4 \times 8 + 7 \times 3}{3 \times 8}$

$\sf : \implies \frac{32 + 21}{24}$

$\sf : \implies \frac{53}{24}$

$\bold{= > \frac{53}{24} = 2.29}$
