To simplify the expression, first convert all fractions to have a common denominator, which is 16 in this case. This gives us $\frac{4}{16} + \frac{5}{16} + \frac{8}{16} - \frac{2}{16} = \frac{15}{16}$.

Simplify - 14−(−516)+12−18\frac { 1 } { 4 } - \left( - \frac { 5 } { 16 } \right) + \frac { 1 } { 2 } - \frac { 1 } { 8 }41​−(−165​)+21​−81​

Simplify
- $\frac { 1 } { 4 } - \left( - \frac { 5 } { 16 } \right) + \frac { 1 } { 2 } - \frac { 1 } { 8 }$
