3/4 + 5/6 = [__]; [__]/[__]

1 answer

To add the fractions \( \frac{3}{4} \) and \( \frac{5}{6} \), we first need to find a common denominator.

The denominators are 4 and 6. The least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6 is 12.

Now we convert each fraction to have a denominator of 12:

  1. For \( \frac{3}{4} \): \[ \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{9}{12} \]

  2. For \( \frac{5}{6} \): \[ \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \frac{10}{12} \]

Now we can add these two fractions: \[ \frac{9}{12} + \frac{10}{12} = \frac{9 + 10}{12} = \frac{19}{12} \]

So, \( \frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{19}{12} \).

Therefore, you can fill in the blanks as follows: \[ \text{[19]; [19]/[12]} \]
