Simplify answer fully

Answer 1

5/6+1/12
=taking LCM we get 10+1/12
=11/12 is the answer..!!

Answer 2

So firstly, we have to find the LCM, or lowest common multiple, between the two denominators. In this case, the LCM of 6 and 12 is 12. Multiply 5/6 by 2/2 and 1/12 by 1/1.

`(5)/(6) *(2)/(2)= (10)/(12) \\ \\ (1)/(12) *(1)/(1) =(1)/(12)`

Next, add the two fractions together:

`(10)/(12)+ (1)/(12) =(11)/(12)`

In short, your answer is 11/12.
