Answered by maham237 @



when adding fractions, they should have the same denominator.
the denominators of the 2 fractions 9/16 and 1/2 are 16 and 2 respectively.
to bring them both to the same denominator we can multiply both numerator and denominator of 1/2 by 8 and we get ---> 8/16.
 \frac{1*8}{2*8} =  \frac{8}{16}
then the 2 fractions are 9/16 and 8/16. Now we can add the 2 fractions. when denominator is same the numerator values shoud be added.

 \frac{9}{16} +  \frac{8}{16} =  \frac{17}{16}
This is an improper fraction since 16/16 is 1 whole and 1/16 is remaining, simplified fraction = 1 1/16
