Question

Which expression has a value of 7/12 ? 7/8 + 4 , 1/3 + 1/4 , 6/8 + 1/4 , 2 1/12 + 5 1/12

Answer 1

`(1)/(3) + (1)/(4)`

Explanation:

We want to find an expression that has a value of

`(7)/(12)`

First option:

`(7)/(8) + 4 = (7)/(8) + (32)/(8) = (39)/(8) \\e (7)/(12)`

Second option:

`(1)/(3) + (1)/(4) = (4)/(12) + (3)/(12) = (7)/(12)`

Correct option

Third option

`(6)/(8) + (1)/(4) = (3)/(4) + (1)/(4) = 1`

Fourth option:

`2 (1)/(12) + 5 (1)/(12) = (43)/(6)`
