(1 point)
The sum of 11/16 + 3/16 is 14/16 or 7/8.
To find the sum of fractions, we need to add the numerators (the numbers on top) and keep the denominator (the number on the bottom) the same.
The sum of 11/16 + 3/16 is:
(11 + 3) / 16 = 14/16
However, we can simplify this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2.
14 ÷ 2 / 16 ÷ 2 = 7/8
Therefore, the sum of 11/16 + 3/16 is 7/8.
To find the sum of fractions, you need to have a common denominator for both fractions. In this case, the denominators of the fractions, 16 in both cases, are already the same.
To find the sum, you simply add the numerators of the fractions and keep the denominator the same:
11/16 + 3/16 = (11 + 3)/16
Evaluating the numerator, we have:
14/16
The fraction is already in its simplest form because both the numerator and denominator share a common factor of 2. Therefore, the sum of the fractions 11/16 and 3/16 is equal to 14/16.
