The image asks us to evaluate the expression:

\[
\frac{7}{8} + \frac{1}{6}
\]

We need to find the sum of these two fractions in simplest form. Here's the process:

1. **Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD):**
   The denominators are 8 and 6. To find the LCD, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 6.

   Factors of 8: \( 2^3 \)  
   Factors of 6: \( 2 \times 3 \)

   The LCM of 8 and 6 is \( 24 \).

2. **Convert each fraction to have the LCD:**
   \[
   \frac{7}{8} = \frac{7 \times 3}{8 \times 3} = \frac{21}{24}
   \]
   \[
   \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1 \times 4}{6 \times 4} = \frac{4}{24}
   \]

3. **Add the fractions:**
   \[
   \frac{21}{24} + \frac{4}{24} = \frac{21 + 4}{24} = \frac{25}{24}
   \]

4. **Simplify if necessary:**
   The fraction \(\frac{25}{24}\) is already in its simplest form, as 25 and 24 have no common factors other than 1.

Thus, the final answer is:

\[
\boxed{\frac{25}{24}}
\]
