$$\frac { 7 } { 12 } + \frac { 9 } { 16 }$$

$\frac{55}{48}\approx 1.145833333$

Least common multiple of $12$ and $16$ is $48$. Convert $\frac{7}{12}$ and $\frac{9}{16}$ to fractions with denominator $48$.

$$\frac{28}{48}+\frac{27}{48}$$

Since $\frac{28}{48}$ and $\frac{27}{48}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{28+27}{48}$$

Add $28$ and $27$ to get $55$.

$$\frac{55}{48}$$

$\frac{5 \cdot 11}{2 ^ {4} \cdot 3} = 1\frac{7}{48} = 1.1458333333333333$
