Zander ordered carpet that is 11/16 inch thick . the pad underneath is 5/8 inch thick . how thick are they together

11/16 + 5/8      [first convert so that they both have the same denominator]
11/16 + 10/16   [then add the numerators]
21/16
which is  1 5/16 as a mixed fraction

Well first you have to convert the fractions so that they can have the same denominator. which would be 16 11/16 stays the same since 1*16 is 16 and 11*1 is 11 5/8 would change to 10/16 since 8*2 is 16 ans 5 *2 is 10 then you add the numerators which is 10 and 11 and it would equal 21/16. the fraction is overweight kr how i call it and then you would simplify which would be 1 5/6 hope this helped:)
