Question

What is the sum?

3/8 +7/16

A) 5/12
B) 13/16
C) 7/8
D) 1 3/16

Answer 1

It is B. It’s B because you would have to multiply 3/8 by 2, which is 6/16. Now once you add 6/16 and 7/16 the sum is 13/16.

Answer 2

Double the first fraction so that it has the same denominator as the second (3/8) x 2 = 6/16, then add 6+7 = 13, so your answer would be B) 13/16
