Question

1: 3/4

2: 5/6

Answer 1

To add the fractions 3/4 and 5/6, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 4 and 6 is 12.

To make the denominators 4 and 6 become 12, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator of 3/4 by 3, and the numerator and denominator of 5/6 by 2.

So, 3/4 becomes 9/12 (3 * 3 = 9, 4 * 3 = 12), and 5/6 becomes 10/12 (5 * 2 = 10, 6 * 2 = 12).

Now we can add the fractions:

9/12 + 10/12 = 19/12.

Since the numerator (19) is greater than the denominator (12), we have an improper fraction. To convert this to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (19) by the denominator (12) and express the remainder as a fraction.

19 ÷ 12 = 1 with a remainder of 7.

So, the mixed number is 1 7/12.
