7 over 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 7/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add 11/16 to 3/16, you'll get 14/16.  14/16 has two numbers that are divisible by 2,  so when you divide 14/16 by 2 you'll get 7/8 which is 14/16 in a simplified form.  7 is prime and you can't divide it down any more, but 8 i'snt the same way.  The rule is, whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other.  You can divide 8, but not 7; therefore, you cannot simplify the fraction any further.
