Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

Normally you would have to make sure that the bottoms of each fraction to be added would be the same. In this question, they are, so nothing further to getting the bottoms the same has to be done,

Solution

answer = 7 / 16 + 3 / 16

answer = (7 + 3) / 16

answer = 10/16

Both top and bottom are even numbers so you can divide both top and bottom by at least 2.

10/2 = 5

16 / 2 = 8

So answer = 5/8
