Answer:

25/24

Explanation:

5/12 * 1 = 5/12

1 = 2/2

5/12 * 1 = (5/12) * (2/2) = (5*2)/(12*2) = 10/24

3/3 = 1

5/8 * 1 = (5/8) * (3/3) = (5*3)/(8*3) = 15/24

then:

(5/12) + (5/8) = (10/24) + (15/24) = (10+15) / 24 = 25/24

Answer:

1 1/24

Explanation:

5/12 + 5/8

We need a common denominator of 24

Convert the first number to have a denominator of 24

5/12 *2/2 = 10/24

Convert the second number to have a denominator of 24

5/8*3/3 = 15/24

Add the two converted numbers together

10/24 + 15/24

25/24

Change from an improper fraction to a mixed number

24/24 + 1/24

1 1/24
