Question

Find
- 1/8 and 3/16
​

Answer 1

Answer:

5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8 + 3/16

it is so simple if you use calculator but we want to solve it without using calculator.

we can’t add simply the numerators until we don’t have common denominators of two or more fractions.

so by multiply and divide by 2 to 1/8 (first term)

=(1/8)(2/2) + (3/16)

=2/16 + 3/16

now we have same denominators so we can add numerators.

=(2+3)/16

=5/16 (Answer).
