Question

Someone pls answer 5/3 + 7/4 simplify version, with the full steps if you dont mind

Answer 1

Answer: 41/12 OR 3 5/12

First you find the least common multiples of 3 and 4 (denominators) which is 12, then multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by whatever value will result in the denominator of each fraction being equal to the LCM

You should end up with 20/12 +21/12

Then add them both which will be 41/12

For this to be a mixed number, see how many times 12 can go into 41, it’ll be 3 with 5 left over, making it 3 5/12

I hope this helps and makes sense :)
