Answer 2

Given: $\frac{5}{8} +\frac{7}{16}$

We have to find the sum of the above data.

• The sum of two numbers is calculated by adding those numbers.
• As we know that adding two or more numbers together is known as an addition.
• Addition as denoted by(+).  

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

$\frac{5}{8} +\frac{7}{16}$

First, we will make the denominator the same.

Multiplying$\frac{5}{8} \ by\ 2$:

$=>\frac{5}{8} \times\frac{2}{2} +\frac{7}{16} \\\\=>\frac{10}{16} +\frac{7}{16}\\\\=>\frac{10+7}{16} \\\\=>\frac{17}{16}$

Hence, we get the solution is$\frac{17}{16}$.
