15/16+5/8

Let's evaluate: $\frac{15}{16}+\frac{5}{8}$

ⓘ To add fractions, put them over the same denominator, then add the numerators. We choose $16$, the least common multiple of $16$ and $8$. Multiplying the numerator and the denominator by the same number does not change the fraction: $\frac{15}{16}+\frac{5}{8}$ = $\frac{15}{16}+\frac{5\times 2}{8\times 2}$ = $\frac{15+5\times 2}{16}$

$\frac{15+5\times 2}{16}$

ⓘ Perform multiplications before additions and subtractions: $5\times 2$ = $10$

$\frac{15+10}{16}$

ⓘ Calculate the numerator and denominator before dividing: $15+10$ = $25$

▶Result:   $\frac{25}{16}$

The numeric value of: $\frac{25}{16}$ equals:

▷ $1.5625$
