To add the fractions \( \frac{5}{16} \) and \( \frac{1}{4} \), follow these steps:

1. **Find a common denominator**: The least common denominator (LCD) between 16 and 4 is 16.

2. **Convert \( \frac{1}{4} \) to have the common denominator of 16**: 
   \[
   \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 4}{4 \times 4} = \frac{4}{16}
   \]

3. **Add the fractions**:
   \[
   \frac{5}{16} + \frac{4}{16} = \frac{5 + 4}{16} = \frac{9}{16}
   \]

So, \( \frac{5}{16} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{16} \).
