Question

what is the sum of this expression 2 1/16 + 7 3/8 =

Answer 1

Answer: 9 and 7/16 or 151/16

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, first, we need to write them in a fraction, not a mixed fraction.

So, 2 and 1/16 = (2 × 16) + 1 / 16 = 33/16

7 and 3/8 = (7 × 8) + 3 = 59/8

Next, we need to find a common denominator. The least common denominator, in this case, is 16 since it is the least common denominator of 8 and 16.

So, next, we need to change 59/8 denominator to 16. To do this, we need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2.

59 × 2 / 8 × 2 = 118/16

Now, we can add the two fractions.

118 + 33 / 16 = 151/16

Finally, let's change the fraction back into a mixed fraction. To do this, divide 151 by 16 (there may be a remainder).

151 ÷ 16 = 9 r7 or 9 and 7/16

So, the final answer of 2 and 1/16 + 7 and 3/8 is 9 and 7/16.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{151}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/16 + 7 3/8 = ?

2$\frac{1}{16}$ = $\frac{33}{16}$

7$\frac{3}{8}$ = $\frac{59}{8}$

$\frac{33}{16}$ + $\frac{59 }{8}$ = $\frac{33}{16}$ + $\frac{118}{16}$ = $\frac{151}{16}$

So, the answer is $\frac{151}{16}$.
