The correct answer is 22/32.
To find the sum of fractions, you need to have a common denominator. In this case, both fractions have a denominator of 32.
So, the sum of 14/32 + 8/32 is:
(14 + 8) / 32 = 22/32.
However, this fraction can be simplified. Both the numerator and denominator have a common factor of 2.
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2, we get:
22/32 = 11/16.
Therefore, the correct answer is 11/16.
To find the sum of fractions, you need to have the same denominator. In this case, both fractions already have a denominator of 32, so you can add the numerators directly.
To get the sum of the fractions 14/32 and 8/32, add the numerators together: 14 + 8 = 22.
The denominator remains the same, so the sum is 22/32.
However, this fraction can be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 2.
Dividing both 22 and 32 by 2, we get 11/16.
Therefore, the sum of the fractions 14/32 + 8/32 is 11/16.
