To add these mixed fractions, we first need to convert them into improper fractions.
2 1/8 can be written as (2 * 8 + 1) / 8 = 17/8.
Now we can add the two fractions:
17/8 + 17/8 = (17 + 17) / 8 = 34/8.
Simplifying this fraction further by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2, we get:
34/8 = 17/4.
Therefore, 2 1/8 + 2 1/8 equals 17/4.
2 1/8 + 2 1/8
