Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 represents every fraction, where the denominator (bottom part) is twice the numerator (top part).

what do we need in the denominator to calculate with 15/16 ?
the same : 16.
and what is half of 16 ? 8.
so, we need the 1/2 based on 16th = 8/16.
so, the dog ate 8/16 (1/2) of the original 15/16.
what was left was
15/16 - 8/16 = 7/16 pound

Have you never added 2-digit numbers?
35 +27 = (30 +20) +(5 +7) = 50 +12 = 62
35/100 +27/100 = (35 +27)/100 = 62/100
0.35 +0.27 = 0.62
The basic idea, taught in 3rd grade, is to line up the decimal points of the numbers, add enough zeros on the right to make the numbers all have the same number of digits to the right of the decimal point, then add in the usual way. The sum has the decimal point aligned with the rest of the numbers.
