The sum of 1/6 and 1/8 is 7/24
To add eight twelfths and one sixth, first convert one sixth to twelfths: one sixth equals two twelfths. Now, add eight twelfths and two twelfths together: (8/12 + 2/12 = 10/12). This can be simplified to five sixths. Thus, eight twelfths plus one sixth equals five sixths.
5 + 3 1/6 = 8 1/6 or eight and one sixth.
7/56 + 48/56 = 55/56
It is: 10
one third
1/8 + 1/6 = 1/14 because... 8 + 6 = 14
the answer is 7 and one sixth
First point to make is a minus minus = a plus so your sum becomes an eighth plus a sixth. Next you need to apply a common denominator. In the case of eight and six this would be 24 so the sum is now 3 24ths plus 4 24ths = 7/24 or 0.29166667 as a decimal
one and two sixth's
seventeen and seven over twelve
it equals five sixth.
