#7 1/2#

#4 5/16+3 3/16#
=#7 8/16#

See below.

This question can be rewritten as

#4 + 3+ 5/16 + 3/16#

for simplicity. From here, we add the two numbers and the two fractions to get our final answer:

#7 + 8/16#

#7 8/16#

This is not our final answer, however, because #8/16# can be further reduced to #1/2#. Therefore, our final answer is:

#color(red)(7 1/2#

I hope that helps!
