    First, find the common denominator.


    4/16 + 3 3/17


    1/4 + 3 3/17 > multiply denominators 4 * 17 = 68


    Note: 4/16 was reduced to 1/4


    68 is the common denominator.


    1/4 * 17/17 = 17/68


    3 3/17 * 4/4 = 3 12/68


    Add: 17/68 + 3 12/68 = 3 29/68


    Answer: 3 29/68


    Or,


    4/16 + 3 3/17


    4/16 + 54/17 > Note: 3 3/17 was changed to an improper fraction.


    Multiply denominators 16 * 17 = 272


    4/16 * 17/17 = 68/272


    3 3/17 * 16/16 = 3 48/272


    Add: 68/272 + 3 48/272 = 3 116/272 


    Reduce: 3 116/272 / 4/4 = 3 29/68
