Question 1 :-


{:\implies \quad \sf (3)/(8)+(3)/(6)}

After taking LCM ;


{:\implies \quad \sf (9+12)/(24)}


{:\implies \quad \sf (21)/(24)}


{:\implies \quad \bf \underline{\underline{(7)/(8)}}}

Question 2 :-


{:\implies \quad \sf (5)/(9)+(1)/(3)}

After taking LCM ;


{:\implies \quad \sf (5+3)/(9)}


{:\implies \quad \bf \underline{\underline{(8)/(9)}}}

Question 3 :-


{:\implies \quad \sf (5)/(12)+(7)/(8)}

After taking LCM ;


{:\implies \quad \sf (10+21)/(24)}


{:\implies \quad \bf \underline{\underline{(31)/(24)}}}

Question 4 :-


{:\implies \quad \sf (7)/(9)-(1)/(6)}

After taking LCM ;


{:\implies \quad \sf (14-3)/(18)}


{:\implies \quad \bf \underline{\underline{(11)/(18)}}}

Question 5 :-


{:\implies \quad \sf 4(2)/(5)+2(1)/(5)}

Simplifying it into improper fraction will leave with us ;


{:\implies \quad \sf (22)/(5)+(11)/(5)}

Now , we know that whenever we add or subtract two or much fractions and their denominator is same , then the resultant has the same denominator and we had to perform operations in just numerator .

Applying it here ;


{:\implies \quad \bf \underline{\underline{(33)/(5)}}}

Question 6 :-


{:\implies \quad \sf 5(3)/(8)+2(7)/(8)}

Simplifying it into improper fraction will leave with us ;


{:\implies \quad \sf (43)/(8)+(23)/(8)}


{:\implies \quad \sf (43+23)/(8)}


{:\implies \quad \sf (66)/(8)}


{:\implies \quad \bf \underline{\underline{(33)/(4)}}}

Note :- Whenever we have a mixed fraction of the form
{\bf a(b)/(c)} we convert it into an improper fraction of the form
{\bf (ac+b)/(c)}
