Question

Destiny bought a carton of orange juice. She drank 1/3 of the carton on Monday and 5/12 of the carton on Tuesday. What fraction of the carton did Destiny drink?

A. 6/12 Carton
B. 9/12 Carton
C. 6/15 Carton
D. 1 Carton

Answer 1

B

9/12 carton

Explanation:

Get both fractions to have the same denominator.

So make 3 into 12 by multiplying numerator and denominator by 4.

1×4/ 3×4 = 4/12

Now you can add the fractions.

5/12 + 4/12

= 9/12 Carton
