To find the sum of fractions, you need to have a common denominator. In this case, the denominator is already the same, which is 16.

Now, you can simply add the numerators together and keep the denominator the same.

11/16 + 3/16 = (11 + 3)/16 = 14/16.

However, 14/16 can be simplified to the lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.

14/16 รท 2/2 = 7/8.

So, the sum of the fractions 11/16 and 3/16 is 7/8.

To find the sum of fractions, you need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator for both fractions is 16. To add the fractions, you simply add the numerators (the numbers on top) and keep the denominator the same.

11/16 + 3/16 = (11 + 3)/16 = 14/16

However, it is important to simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, both the numerator and the denominator have a common factor of 2. By dividing them by 2, we get:

14/16 = 7/8

Therefore, the sum of 11/16 and 3/16 is 7/8.
