First change both fractions so that they have a common denominator. The least common factor of 16 and 4 is 16. Therefore, your denominator will be 16.


4 (15)/(16) = 4 (15)/(16)


7 (3 * 4)/(4 * 4) = 7 (12)/(16)

Go ahead and add the 2 fractions:


4 (15)/(16) + 7 (12)/(16) = 11 (27)/(16) \rightarrow 12 (11)/(16)

Your answer is
12 (11)/(16)
