the sum of two fractions is 11/16 and their difference is 5/16 what are the two fractions

Answer :

The two fractions are 1/2 and 3/16.

Let the numbers be 'a' and 'b'.
a+b=11/16
a+b=5/16
On adding both equations we get,
2a=1
thus a=1/2.
Substituting a=1/2 in the first equation we get,
b=(11/16)-(1/2)
b=3/16.
