Answer:
[tex]\frac{14}{16}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{10}{16}[/tex]
Before adding we require the denominators of both fractions to be common
Multiply numerator/ denominator of first fraction by 4
= [tex]\frac{1(4)}{4(4)}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{10}{16}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4}{16}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{10}{16}[/tex] ( now add the numerators leaving the common denominator )
= [tex]\frac{4+10}{16}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{14}{16}[/tex]
The fraction can be simplified by dividing the numerator/ denominator by 2 to
[tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
