Adding Fractions with Equal Denominators

Sam and Adam are building a pet house and use tiles to explain fractions. The video demonstrates how to represent parts of a whole using fractions, focusing on the concept of numerators and denominators. It further explains how to add fractions with the same denominator by summing the numerators while keeping the denominator constant. The lesson concludes with a practical example of adding fractions using tiles.

Describe the process of adding the fractions 1/16 and 2/16.

What is the significance of the numerator in the fractions discussed?

If Sam added another 2 tiles, what would be the new fraction representing the total number of tiles?
