Question:


(x/4+x/3)/(x/2)

Answer:


(7)/(6)

Steps:

Apply the fraction rule:
(a)/((b)/(c))=(a\cdot \:c)/(b)


=(\left((x)/(4)+(x)/(3)\right)\cdot \:2)/(x)

Join
\:(x)/(4)+(x)/(3):\quad (7x)/(12)


=(2\cdot (7x)/(12))/(x)

Multiply:
(7x)/(12)\cdot \:2\::\quad (7x)/(6)


=((7x)/(6))/(x)

Apply the fraction rule:
((b)/(c))/(a)=(b)/(c\:\cdot \:a)


=(7x)/(6x)

Cancel the common factor: x


=(7)/(6)
