Question

What is the sum of the expression 2/12 + 2/4

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In the exercise we have to perform the sum of two improper fractions which are heterogeneous because they have different denominators.

The procedure is the next:

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(12)\text{ }+(2)/(4);=(8+24)/(48)=(32)/(48);\text{here }we\text{ simplify} \\ \\ (32)/(48)=(16)/(24)=(8)/(12)=(4)/(6)=\textcolor{#FF7968}{(2)/(3)} \\ \text{the answer is }(2)/(3) \end{gathered}`
