Question

Can you help me find the answer please

Answer 1

the answer is 1 / 12 I got this because I know that 1/2 equals a half so half of 12 is 6 so 6/12 is simply 1/2

Answer 2

`x=(1)/(12)`

Explanation:

Let the unknown number be
`x`.

The given equation then becomes;

`(5)/(12) +x=(1)/(2)`

Group similar terms

`x=(1)/(2)-(5)/(12)`

Collect the LCM on the Right Hand Side.

`x=(6-5)/(12)`

This implies that;

`x=(1)/(12)`
