To add the mixed numbers $$ 13 \frac{5}{8} $$ and $$ 16 \frac{1}{8} $$, follow these steps:

1. **Add the whole numbers:**
   $$
   13 + 16 = 29
   $$

2. **Add the fractional parts:**
   $$
   \frac{5}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{6}{8}
   $$
   
3. **Simplify the fractional sum:**
   $$
   \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4} \quad \text{(by dividing numerator and denominator by 2)}
   $$

4. **Combine the sums:**
   $$
   29 + \frac{3}{4} = 29 \frac{3}{4}
   $$

**Final Answer:** 
$$
29 \frac{3}{4}
$$
The sum of $$ 13 \frac{5}{8} $$ and $$ 16 \frac{1}{8} $$ is $$ 29 \frac{3}{4} $$.
