Question

I am having trouble with this problem 2/12 +6/4 =?

Answer 1

6/4 can go up to 12/8 which can go up to 18/12

2/12 + 18/12 = 20/12 which reduces to 10/6, 5/3 or 1 2/5

Answer 2

`(2)/(12)+(6)/(4)=(2)/(12)+\left((6)/(4)*(3)/(3)\right)=(2)/(12)+(18)/(12)`


`\to ~ (2)/(12)+ (18)/(12) = (2 + 18)/(12) = (20)/(12) = (10)/(6) = (5)/(3)`
