Question

Add.
1/4+5/3 pls healppp

Answer 1

Hi, there.

______

In this problem we need to add two fractions together. The first (and main) thing that we should see is: These two fractions have two different denominators! This means we cannot add their numerators together, we need to find the lcm of 4 and 3:

12

What was 4 multiplied by to yield 12? 3, so 3 is what the entire fraction gets multiplied by:

`\sf{(1*3)/(4*3)=(3)/(12)}`

What was 3 multiplied by to yield 12? 4, so 4 is what the entire fraction is multiplied by:

`\sf{(5*4)/(3*4)=(20)/(12)}`

Now we can write these two guys together.

`\sf{(3)/(12)+(20)/(12)}`

Next, we can add their numerators, since the denominators match.

`\sf{(20+3)/(12)=\boxed{\bf{(23)/(12)}}`

Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,

happy studying.

Answer 2

Answer:
`\Large\boxed{(23)/(12) }`

Explanation:

Given expression

`(1)/(4) +(5)/(3)`

Convert to the common denominator

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 4 and 3 = 12

`=(1*3)/(4*3) +(5*4)/(3*4)`

`=(3)/(12) +(20)/(12)`

Combine the fractions

`=(3+20)/(12)`

`=\Large\boxed{(23)/(12) }`

Hope this helps!! :)
