Question

Help me do 1/6+1/4 make sure the demonator is the same

Answer 1

`\boxed{\boxed{\sf(5)/(12)=0.416666667}}`

Solution Steps:

______________________________

1.) Find the LCF of 6 and 4:

• 
  `6,4=12`

- We do this because in order to add these, they must have the same denominator. So you must find the LCF, (Least Common Factor) of 6 and 4.

2.) Convert the fractions to have the same denominator:

• 
  `(1)/(6)=(2)/(12)`

• 
  `(1)/(4)=(3)/(12)`

-
`(1)/(6)` changes to
`(2)/(12)` by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2. And
`(1)/(4)` changes to
`(3)/(12)` because you multiply the numerator and denominator by 3.

3.) Add the numerators:

• 
  `2+3=5`

- Since both fractions have the same denominator all you have to do is add the numerators together.
