Answer 1

Answer:

43/8 + 5/16

LCM IS 16

43×2/8×2 + 5×1/16×1

86/16 + 5/16

91/16

Answer 2

To solve : $\frac{43}{8} + \frac{5}{16}$

Solution :

• As per given condition we write ,$\frac{43}{8 }+\frac{5}{16}$

• To find the sum of given rational numbers we get need to equalize denominators of both the rational numbers. By taking LCM

• Therefore, LCM = $16$

• Now, multiplying numerators of both rational numbers by same number as multiplied by denominators to make LCM.

• Therefore, we get, $\frac{43}{8}+\frac{5}{16}=\frac{43 \times 2}{16}+\frac{5 \times 1}{16}$

              $\begin{array}{l}=\frac{86}{16}+\frac{5}{16} \\=\frac{91}{16}\end{array}$

Hence, sum of  $\frac{43}{8} + \frac{5}{16}$ is  $\frac{91}{16}$ which is improper fraction as numerator > denominator.
