What is 3 over 4 plus 1 over 16?

Answer 1

3/4 + 1/16.

Ok, so here we need to find the common denominator, which is 16. So here are the three steps you need to do:

1) Make the fractions have the same denominator:

3/4 to 12/16 (times bottom by 4 to get 16 and whatever is done to the bottom has to be done to the top)

2) Now add them! (now that they have the same bottom, denominator)

12/16 + 1/16 = 13/16

3) Simplify the end result if necessary.

In this case 13/16 cannot be simplified so your answer remains the same!!
