Answer 1

See explanation

Explanation:

This is in a simplified form

Other forms are

`67/4 larr` Improper fraction

`16.75 larr` decimal

'~~~~~~~~~ The teaching bit ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Method to derive `67/4`

Write as `16 3/4` as `16+3/4`

If you multiply by 1 you do not change the value or the way it looks.

If you multiply I but in the form of `1=4/4` then you do not change the value but you do change the way it looks.

Multiply `16` by 1 but in the form of `1=4/4`

`16xx4/4 =(16xx4)/4 = 64/4`

So you can write `16+3/4` as `64/4+3/4 = 67/4`

Answer 2

If seen as `16^(3/4)` it simplifies to `2^3 = 8`

Explanation:

I wonder if the question was not meant to be `16^(3/4)`?

This is more likely because there is a calculation involved.
However, it would not be 'solve' rather determine or evaluate.

`16^(3/4)` can also be written as `root4(16)^3`

This simplifies to `2^3 = 8`
