The correct answer is 22/32.
To find the sum of fractions 14/32 + 8/32, you first need to determine if the denominators are the same. In this case, both fractions have a denominator of 32.
To add fractions with the same denominator, you simply add the numerators and keep the common denominator.
So, the sum is:
14/32 + 8/32 = (14 + 8) / 32 = 22/32.
However, this fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor, which is 2 in this case.
So, the simplified sum is 11/16.
Therefore, the correct answer is 11/16.
To find the sum of fractions, you need to add the numerators (the numbers above the fraction line) and keep the same denominator (the number below the fraction line).
In this case, the given fractions are 14/32 and 8/32. To find their sum, you add the numerators:
14 + 8 = 22
The denominator remains the same:
32
Therefore, the sum of the fractions 14/32 and 8/32 is 22/32.
However, it seems that none of the provided answer choices match the correct answer of 22/32.
