Question

Find 11/12+(-7/12). Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form

Answer 1

Answer: 1/3

Explanation:

To add fractions with different denominators, we first need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12.

11/12 + (-7/12) = (11 - 7) / 12

Simplifying the numerator gives us:

4/12

We can further simplify by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 4.

4/12 = 1/3

Therefore, 11/12 + (-7/12) = 1/3.
