Answer:
Hey there!
1/2 can also be written as 8/16.
Thus, starting from 0, count 8 tick marks, and place a point there.
3/16 is just 3/16.
Thus, starting from the 8th tick mark (where you left off in the first part) count three more tick marks to the 11th tick mark.
This shows us that 8/16+3/16=11/16.
Hope this helps :)
