\[ \frac{-27}{8} + 1 = - \frac{19}{8} = -2.375 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{-27}{8}\) and \(\frac{1}{1}\) is \(8\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{-27}{8} + 1 &= \frac{-27 \cdot 1}{8 \cdot 1} + \frac{1 \cdot 8}{1 \cdot 8} \\ &= \frac{-27 + 8}{8} \\ &= \frac{-19}{8} \end{aligned} \]
