\\(\frac{3}{16} + \frac{7}{16}\\)
er your answer pres

Explanation:

Step1: Add numerators (same denominator)

For adding fractions with the same denominator, we use the rule $\frac{a}{c}+\frac{b}{c}=\frac{a + b}{c}$. Here, $a = 3$, $b = 7$, and $c = 16$. So we add the numerators: $3+7 = 10$. The fraction becomes $\frac{10}{16}$.

Step2: Simplify the fraction

To simplify $\frac{10}{16}$, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 10 and 16. The GCD of 10 and 16 is 2. We divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2: $\frac{10\div2}{16\div2}=\frac{5}{8}$.

Answer:

$\frac{5}{8}$
