Solution

To find the total number of loaves served, you need to add the number of wheat bread loaves to the number of white bread loaves.

The restaurant served 3 1/8 loaves of wheat bread and 5 5/8 loaves of white bread.

First, add the whole numbers: 3 (from the wheat bread) + 5 (from the white bread) = 8.

Next, add the fractions: 1/8 (from the wheat bread) + 5/8 (from the white bread) = 6/8.

6/8 can be simplified to 3/4 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2.

So, the restaurant served a total of 8 3/4 loaves of bread.
