Question

Does anyone know what 7/16+3/8 equals

Answer 1

13/16.

Answer 2

Can you explain it ?

Answer 3

How do i simplify it ?

Answer 4

find a common numerator

Answer 5

1/16 and 1/8 have a common numerator

1/16 = 1*(2)/8*(2)
1/16 = 2/16

Answer 6

yeah(:
basically you need to make the denominators (the one on bottom) the same. So you multiply 3/8 by 2 (top and bottom) to make 6/16. Then you just add the 6/16 and 7/16 (add the numerators) to make 13/16. 13/16 can't be simplified.
Sorry if this is confusing :/

Answer 7

right so just multiply 3/8 both the top and the bottom by two

Answer 8

woops sorry denominator lol that's what I meant

Answer 9

I'm so confused, i can kind of understand it but then i get confused & lost

Answer 10

First, you need to find a common denominator.

7/16 + 3/8 = 13/16 because:

3/8*2/2 = 6/16.

Adding it with 7/16, you get 13/16.

Answer 11

First, you need to find a common denominator.

7/16 + 3/8 = 13/16 because:

3/8*2/2 = 6/16.

Adding it with 7/16, you get 13/16.

Answer 12

Ok. I will make you get this. Maybe.
You need to make both fractions have the same number on the bottom. So you can just multiply 3/8 by two so that both equations have 16 on bottom. If you multiply the top by two you have to do the same to the bottom, so the fraction becomes 6/16.
Then you have 7/16 already and you're adding 6/16 so just add the top numbers to get 13/16.
I probably made it more confusing than the first time, didn't I?
