Use the proper order of operations: PEMDAS from left to right, do parenthasis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, then subtraction. since you only have division and addition, divide your numbers first, then lastly add.
You need a common denominator to add fractions. In this case, it is 32.
1/16 = 2/32. Add the numerators.
(2+3)/32 = 5/32
5/32 cannot be simplified.
