Step 1
The given expression is, 16+18
The objective is to find the sum of two fractions with different denominator.
Step 2
Since, the denominators of the fractions are not same, take LCM of the denominators to make same.
The multiples of 6 are 6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,...
The multiples of 8 are 8,16,24,32,40,48,...
The least common multiplier of 6 and 8 is 24.
Now, simplify the expression as follows.
16+18=1×46×4+1×38×3
=424+324
=4+324
=724
Thus, the value of the expression is, 724.
