To solve this problem, we first need to find a common denominator for 16 and 8. The least common multiple of 16 and 8 is 16.
Next, we need to express both fractions using the common denominator of 16.
The first fraction, 3/16, already has a denominator of 16, so we don't need to do anything with it.
The second fraction, 4/8, needs to be expressed with a denominator of 16. Since 8 × 2 = 16, we multiply the numerator and denominator of 4/8 by 2 to get 8/16.
Now, we can add the fractions:
3/16 + 8/16 = (3 + 8)/16 = 11/16
The answer, in its lowest terms, is 11/16.
Calculate the following and express as a mixed number in its lowest terms. 3/16+4/8=
