Answer:5/16 + 3/4 = 17/16 = 1 1/16 = 1.0625
Explanation:
Add: 5/16 + 3/4= 5/16+ 3 · 4/4 · 4 = 5/16+ 12/16 = 5 + 12/16= 17/16
It is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator for adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - is LCM(16, 4) = 16. It is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 16 × 4 = 64. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.
In other words - five sixteenths plus three-quarters are seventeen sixteenths.
This calculator subtracts two fractions. First, convert all fractions to a common denominator when fractions have different denominators. Find Least Common Denominator (LCD) or multiply all denominators to find a common denominator. When all denominators are the same, subtract the numerators and place the result over the common denominator. Then simplify the result to the lowest terms or a mixed number.
