since -15/16 is a negative number, we can add both sides by 15/16 or subtract both sides by -15/16. Either way works.

p = 1/8 + 15/16

Use common denominator, which is 16:

p = 1(2)/8(2) + 15/16

p = 2/16 + 15/16

p = 17/16

17/16 is an improper fraction. If you want to use a mixed number for your answer, then:

17/16 becomes 1 1/16 (one and one-sixteenth, with 1 being a whole number and 1/16 being a fraction)

Answer: 17/16 or 1 1/16
