$$\frac{ 5 }{ 12 } + \frac{ 7 }{ 16 }$$

$\frac{41}{48}\approx 0.854166667$

Least common multiple of $12$ and $16$ is $48$. Convert $\frac{5}{12}$ and $\frac{7}{16}$ to fractions with denominator $48$.

$$\frac{20}{48}+\frac{21}{48}$$

Since $\frac{20}{48}$ and $\frac{21}{48}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{20+21}{48}$$

Add $20$ and $21$ to get $41$.

$$\frac{41}{48}$$

$\frac{41}{2 ^ {4} \cdot 3} = 0.8541666666666666$
