13/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:
LCM of 16 and 8 is 16
For the 1st fraction, since 16 × 1 = 16,
7/16 = 7 × 1/16 × 1 = 7/16
Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 8 × 2 = 16,
3/8 = 3 × 2/8 × 2 = 6/16
Add the two fractions:
7/16 + 6/16 = 7 + 6/16 = 13/16
Answer: 13/16
