5/12 + 3/4

Answer 1

To add 5/12 and 3/4, we need to find a common denominator and then add the two fractions.

The common denominator for 12 and 4 is 12.

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of 5/12 by 1 (or 4/4) gives us (5/12)*(4/4) = 20/48.

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of 3/4 by 3 (or 12/12) gives us (3/4)*(12/12) = 36/48.

Now, we can add the two fractions:

20/48 + 36/48 = (20 + 36)/48 = 56/48.

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their common factor, which is 8:

56/48 = (56/8)/(48/8) = 7/6.

Therefore, 5/12 + 3/4 = 7/6.
