1) \(\frac{3}{8} + \frac{5}{9} + \frac{5}{8} + \frac{4}{9} = (\frac{3}{8} + \frac{5}{8}) + (\frac{5}{9} + \frac{4}{9}) = \frac{8}{8} + \frac{9}{9} = 1 + 1 = 2\)
3) \(5\frac{3}{8} + 3\frac{5}{7} + 1\frac{2}{5} + 4\frac{5}{8} = (5\frac{3}{8} + 4\frac{5}{8}) + 3\frac{5}{7} + 1\frac{2}{5} = (5 + 4 + \frac{3}{8} + \frac{5}{8}) + 3\frac{5}{7} + 1\frac{2}{5} = (9 + \frac{8}{8}) + 3\frac{5}{7} + 1\frac{2}{5} = 10 + 3\frac{5}{7} + 1\frac{2}{5} = 14 + \frac{5}{7} + \frac{2}{5} = 14 + \frac{5 \cdot 5}{7 \cdot 5} + \frac{2 \cdot 7}{5 \cdot 7} = 14 + \frac{25}{35} + \frac{14}{35} = 14 + \frac{39}{35} = 14 + 1\frac{4}{35} = 15\frac{4}{35}\)
