Find a common denominator add the numerators and divide out common factors.

A common denominator for 16 and 4 is 16 since $16 = 4 \times 4$ $16 = 4 xx 4$

Change 1/4 to 4/16

$\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{4}{4} = \frac{4}{16}$ $1/4 xx 4/4 = 4/16$

Now add the numerators

6/16 + 4/16 = 10/16l

$\frac{\frac{10}{2}}{\frac{16}{2}} = \frac{5}{8}$ $(10/2)/(16/2) = 5/8$

How do you simplify 616+146/16 + 1/4?
