Respuesta :
5/16 + 3/16 = 8/16 (Denominator is the same) 8/16 16 is divisible by 8 so answer is 1/2
Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inch.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two pieces of wood measuring [tex]\frac{3}{16}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{5}{16}[/tex] inches.
If we join them to form a combined piece then the new measurement of the piece of wood will be = [tex]\frac{3}{16}+\frac{5}{16}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3+5}{16}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{8}{16}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inches
Therefore, [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inch will be the measurement of the combined piece of wood.
