Answer:
[tex]L + \frac{5}{8} = 1[/tex]

Given
A cup of coffee
Kelly drank 5/8 of the coffee
Required
Determine how much is left
Start by representing the amount of coffee left with L
Because the amount of coffee Kelly drank is in fraction (5/8), the total cup of coffee will equate to 1;
Hence, the addition equation as requested in the question to represent the scenario is
[tex]L + \frac{5}{8} = 1[/tex]
