you can say 1/2 = 8/16 so the answer is : 9/16 + 8/16 = 17/16 = 1.06 :))

To do this we must convert 1/2 to have the same denominator as 9/16. So, we can easily figure out that 8/16 is equal to 1/2 and has the same denominator as 9/16. Now that you have converted, simply add 9/16+8/16 to get 17/16 which is equal to 1 & 1/16. ;)
