make this acseptible
Uhhh, so like, the Least Common Multiple of 8 and 12 is 24, duh! We gotta convert the fractions to have the same bottom number, which is called the denominator. We do that by multiplying the top and bottom of each fraction by the same number. So, for 2 out of 8, we times it by 3 to get 6 out of 24. And for 3 out of 12, we times it by 2 to get 6 out of 24 too! When we add them up, we get 12 out of 24. To make it simpler, we can divide both the top and bottom by the same number, which is 6. So the answer is 12 out of 24!

Uh, so, the Least Common Multiple of 8 and 12 is 24, you know. We need to make the fractions have the same denominator, which is called the least common denominator. We can do that by multiplying the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the same number. So, for 2/8, we multiply it by 3 to get 6/24. And for 3/12, we multiply it by 2 to get 6/24 as well. When we add them up, we get 12/24. To simplify it, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number, which is 6. So, the answer is 12/24!
