Question

What is the answer for7/12+ 10/5

Answer 1

The Lowest Common denominator of 5 and 12 is 60. So you have to bring each fraction up to 60

`(7)/(12)=(7*5)/(12*5) =(35)/(60)`

`(10)/(5) = (10*12)/(5*12) = (120)/(60)`

`(35)/(60)+(120)/(60)=(155)/(60)=(35)/(12)`

which can be written as 2 11/12
