Hi Sue,
Thanks for responding so promptly. After adding the problem I got 8 11/8 but my answer isn't one of the multiple choices. What am I doing wrong now? The multiple choices are 10 3/8, 9 3/8, 7 3/8 or 8 3/8. Thanks again for your help.

Your answer of 8 11/8 is right. But you need to reduce or simplify it.
8 11/8 = 9 3/8
8 11/8 = 9 3/8
