To simplify 1 14/16, you need to first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
To do this, multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (16) and then add the numerator (14):
1 * 16 + 14 = 16 + 14 = 30
Thus, 1 14/16 can be written as the improper fraction 30/16.
Next, simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
30 ÷ 2 / 16 ÷ 2 = 15/8
Therefore, 1 14/16 simplified is 15/8.
