Question

Five eighths plus eleven twelves

Answer 1

5/8 + 11/12
make the denominator the same
48 divided by 12 = 4
48 divided by 8 = 6
5 x 6 = 30
11 x 4 = 44
30/48 + 44/48
30 + 44 = 74
74 - 48 = 26
So the answer is 1 and 26/48 in its proper form.
Simplified, it would be 1 and 13/24. Mixed = 37/24 since you'll be adding 24.

Answer 2

`five \ eighths \to (5)/(8) \\\\ eleven \ twelves \to (11)/(12) \\\\ (5)/(8)^((3)+(11)/(12)^((2)= \\\\ =(15)/(24)+(22)/(24)= \\\\ =\boxed{\boxed{(37)/(24)}}`
