step 4 Write the fractions 9/2 and 11/16 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 9/2 + 11/16
= [(9 x 16)/(2 x 16)] + [(11 x 16)/(16 x 16)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 72/16 + 11/16

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/16 x (72/1 + 11/1)
= 1/16 x (72 + 11)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/16 x 83
= 83/16
9/2 + 11/16 = 83/16
