when adding fractions, they should have the same denominator. the denominators of the 2 fractions 9/16 and 1/2 are 16 and 2 respectively. to bring them both to the same denominator we can multiply both numerator and denominator of 1/2 by 8 and we get ---> 8/16. 2 ∗ 8 1 ∗ 8 ​ = 16 8 ​ then the 2 fractions are 9/16 and 8/16. Now we can add the 2 fractions. when denominator is same the numerator values shoud be added.
16 9 ​ + 16 8 ​ = 16 17 ​ This is an improper fraction since 16/16 is 1 whole and 1/16 is remaining, simplified fraction = 1 1/16
