The answer is $6 \frac{1}{8}$ $6 1/8$

Explanation:

First you have to extend the fractions so that they will have common denominator. In this case the lowest possible denominator is 8 so:
Next you can add the whole parts and the fractions.
Final step is to change the improper fraction ( $\frac{9}{8}$ $9/8$ ) to a mixed number.

$1 \frac{7}{8} + 4 \frac{1}{4} = 1 \frac{7}{8} + 4 \frac{2}{8} = 5 \frac{9}{8} = 5 + 1 \frac{1}{8} = 6 \frac{1}{8}$ $1 7/8+4 1/4=1 7/8+4 2/8=5 9/8=5 + 1 1/8=6 1/8$
