First find the lowest common denominator.

24: 24, 48, 72, 96, 120...

5:   5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30...100, 105, 110, 115, 120...

So, 120 is our lowest common denominator.

Now change 37/24 into a mixed number.

$$37/24=1\dfrac{13}{24}$$

Now change 24 into 120, and 5 into 120.

$${\mathtt{13}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{5}} = {\mathtt{65}}$$

$${\mathtt{24}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{2}} = {\mathtt{48}}$$

So put the fractions fractions together.

$$1\dfrac{65}{120}+\dfrac{48}{120}$$

Add 48 and 65.

$${\mathtt{48}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{65}} = {\mathtt{113}}$$

So, combine the fraction together.

$$1\dfrac{65}{120}+\dfrac{48}{120}=1\dfrac{113}{120}$$

So, $$\boxed{1\dfrac{113}{120}}$$ is our answer.
