Question

Add. Simplify the answer to lowest terms before entering the numerator and denominator in their boxes.
11/16
+
3/16

Answer 1

To add the fractions \( \frac{11}{16} + \frac{3}{16} \), we can keep the same denominator since they are both over 16.

1. Add the numerators:
\[
11 + 3 = 14
\]

2. The resulting fraction is:
\[
\frac{14}{16}
\]

3. Next, we simplify \( \frac{14}{16} \) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 14 and 16, which is 2.

4. Divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCD:
\[
\frac{14 \div 2}{16 \div 2} = \frac{7}{8}
\]

So, the simplified answer is:
- Numerator: 7
- Denominator: 8
