To find the sum of the fractions 14/32 + 8/32, you need to add their numerators and keep the denominators the same.
The numerator of the first fraction is 14 and the numerator of the second fraction is 8.
So, the sum of the numerators is 14 + 8 = 22.
Since both fractions have a denominator of 32, the sum will also have a denominator of 32.
Therefore, the sum of the fractions 14/32 + 8/32 is 22/32.
To find the sum of the fractions 14/32 and 8/32, follow these steps:
1. First, make sure both fractions have the same denominator. In this case, both fractions already have a denominator of 32, so no further action is needed.
2. Next, add the numerators of the fractions together. 14 + 8 = 22.
3. Write the sum (22) over the common denominator (32).
Therefore, the sum of the fractions 14/32 + 8/32 is 22/32.
Simplifying this fraction, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 2 in this case:
22 ÷ 2 = 11
32 ÷ 2 = 16
So, the simplified fraction is 11/16.
Hence, the correct answer is 11/16.
