Order of operations

Answer 1

`8/9*3/16+1/12=(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Given operation:

`8/9*3/16+1/12`

Using PEDMAS to evaluate the order of operations.

First division:

`=(8)/(9)*(3)/(16)+(1)/(12)`

Next multiplication:

`=(1)/(6)+(1)/(12)`

Then addition:

taking LCD of
`6\ and\ 12=12`

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

`=(3)/(12)`

reducing to simplest fraction by division of both numbers by GCF.

`=(3/3)/(12/3)=(1)/(4)`
