You're welcome.
To simplify the expression 4a/16 + a/16, we can start by finding a common denominator for both fractions. In this case, the denominator is already the same (16), so we can add the numerators directly and keep the denominator unchanged.
So, 4a/16 + a/16 equals (4a + a) / 16, which simplifies to 5a/16.
Therefore, 4a/16 + a/16 is equal to 5a/16.
