Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{11}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A restaurant served a total of 1/2 of a loaf of wheat bread and 7/8 of a loaf of white bread.

We need to find how many loaves were served in all. It is equal to the sum of the fraction of 1/2 and 7/8.

Sum of these two fractions :

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{7}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{4+7}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{11}{8}[/tex]

So, a total of 11/8 were served in all.
