Question

Add :

$\frac{1}{16}+\frac{7}{16}$

Answer 1

We know that when we have to add like fractions, we need to add the numerators while the denominator remains the same.

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{16}+\frac{7}{16}=\frac{1+7}{16} \\ =\frac{8}{16}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\text{Dividing both numerator and denominator by 8}\right) \end{gathered}$$

Hence the sum is$\frac{1}{2}$.
