The LCM of 3 and 16 is 48.
step 4 Write the fractions 2/3 and 3/16 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=2/3+3/16
=(2 x 48)/(3 x 48)+(3 x 48)/(16 x 48)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=32/48+9/48
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/48 x (32/1+9/1)
=1/48 x (32 + 9)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/48 x 41
=41/48
2/3+3/16=41/48
