Step 1

Let's write down these fractions:

From here, we can see that we are adding fractions with like denominators.

Step 2

Since the denominators are the same, we can just add the numerators together while keeping the denominators the same. This is shown below:

Step 3

Now, by adding 1 with 5, we have the fraction as ⁶/₈:

Step 4

Notice that we can actually simplify this fraction, by dividing both the numerator and denominator with 2. This gives the fraction, ³/₄:

Step 5

Here, we can no longer able to simplify ³/₄ further. Therefore, the answer is B.
