You need a common denominator to add fractions, that means that the bottom part has to be the same on both.
Find the least common multiple of 16 and 3, which is 48.
Multiples of 3: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, ..., 48
Multiple of 16: 0, 16, 32, 48
(3/16) * (3/3) + (1/3) * (16/16) = 9/48 + 16/48 = 25/48.

find the lowest common factor between 3 and 16, which happens to be 48. (which is 3 * 16)
so:
3/16 + 1/3
=> 9/48 + 16/48
=> 25/48

3/16 + 1/3
=[3*3 + 1*16]/16*3
= 25/48

3/16 * 3/3 = 9/48
1/3 * 16/16 = 16/48
9 + 16 = 25
25/48

3/16 + 1/3
take LCM 16*3=48
(3*3)/48+(1*16)/48
(9+16)/48
25/48
