Answer:

You add 1/12 to 3/4 to get 5/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can determine what number (n) you add to 3/4 to get 5/6:

(3/4 + n = 5/6) - 3/4

n = 1/12

Therefore, 3/4 + 1/12 = 5/6.

Final answer:

The number that needs to be added to 3/4 to get 5/6, subtract 3/4 from 5/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number that needs to be added to 3/4 to get 5/6, we need to subtract 3/4 from 5/6. Subtracting fractions involves finding a common denominator and then subtracting the numerators. In this case, the common denominator is 12. So:

5/6 - 3/4 = 10/12 - 9/12 = 1/12

Therefore, the number that needs to be added to 3/4 to get 5/6 is 1/12.
