$16 \frac{1}{12}$ $16 1/12$

The whole number part $\to 1 + 14 = 15$ $->1+14=15$

The fraction part:

$[\frac{3}{4} \times 1] + [\frac{1}{3} \times 1]$ $color(green)([3/4color(red)(xx1)]+[1/3color(red)(xx1)]$

$[\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{3}] + [\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{4}{4}]$ $color(green)([3/4color(red)(xx3/3)]+[1/3color(red)(xx4/4)]$

$\frac{9}{12} + \frac{4}{12} = \frac{13}{12} = 1 + \frac{1}{12}$ $" "9/12" "+" "4/12" " =" " 13/12" " =" " 1 + 1/12$

Putting it all together we have:

$15 + 1 + \frac{1}{12} = 16 \frac{1}{12}$ $15+1+1/12" "=16 1/12$
