Answer:
11/16
Step-by-step explanation:
First- make sure they have the same denominator (the number located at the bottom)
(the denominator is the least common multiple (LCM) or essentially where the numbers meet up)
^ 4 and 16 meets up at 16.
^7/16 already has 16 as the denominator, however 1/4 does not.
Therefore-
1/4 * 4/4 + 7/16 * 1/1
^ 4/16 + 7/16
(they have the same denominator, therefore when you add you DO NOT change the denominator)
4+7 is 11- and you keep the denominator
11/16 is a number which you can NOT simplify.
Therefore ^ 11/16 is your answer
