First, since you are adding, you would need to create a common denominator. It would be 32.

(5)/(16) =
(10)/(32)

(3)/(8) =
(12)/(32)

(3)/(4) =
(24)/(32)

(7)/(32) =
(7)/(32)

Now, all you have to do is plug the revised fractions back into the equation and solve it.

(10)/(32) +
(12)/(32) +
(24)/(32) +
(7)/(32) =
(53)/(32) = 1
(21)/(32)

The sum would be 1
(21)/(32).

I hope this helps!
