Answer:


  • \sf{ (1)/(3) + (1)/(40) + \frac{ \red{\cancel{4}}}{ \red{\cancel{20}}} + (5)/(12) }
  • cross out the common factor

  • \sf{ (1)/(3) + (1)/(40) + (1)/(5) + (5)/(12) }
  • Find common denominator and write the numerators above common denominator

  • \sf{ (40)/(3 * 40) + (3)/(40 * 3) + (3 * 8)/(5 * 24) + (5 * 10)/(12 * 10) }
  • calculate the product or quotient

  • \sf{ (40)/(120) + (3)/(120) + (24)/(120) + (50)/(120) }
  • write the numerator over common denominator

  • \sf{ (40 \: + \: 3 \: + \: 24 \: + \: 50 )/(120) }
  • calculate the sum or difference

  • \sf{ (117)/(120) }
  • cross out the common factor

  • \sf{ (39)/(40) }

Hence The answer Is 39/40

Hope it helps!!
