7/8 + 5/6

Find the least common denominator

8- 8, 16, 24...

6 - 6, 12, 18, 24

24 seems to be the least common denominator

We know that 8x3 = 24 so 7x3=21 and 6x4=24 so 5x4=20 (whatever we do to the denominator, we do to the numerator)

Now the fractions are:

21/24 + 20/24

Add the numerators and keep the denominator of 24 the same.

(21+20)/24 = 41/24 = 1 17/24

Final answer is 1 17/24

What is three quarters add seven eights?

To add three quarters (3/4) and seven eighths (7/8), first convert three quarters to eighths. Three quarters is equivalent to six eighths (6/8). Now, add six eighths and seven eighths: 6/8 + 7/8 = 13/8. This can be simplified to 1 and 5/8.


What is one and one sixth added to seven eighths?

To add one and one sixth to seven eighths, first convert one and one sixth to an improper fraction: (1 \frac{1}{6} = \frac{7}{6}). Next, express seven eighths as (\frac{7}{8}). To add these fractions, find a common denominator, which is 24: (\frac{7}{6} = \frac{28}{24}) and (\frac{7}{8} = \frac{21}{24}). Therefore, (\frac{28}{24} + \frac{21}{24} = \frac{49}{24}), or (2 \frac{1}{24}) in mixed number form.


What is three eighths add five twelfths?

What does two and three-eighths plus one and seven-eighths equal?

Two and three-eighths plus one and seven-eighths equals four and two-eighths, which can be to four and one-fourth. Here's how to find the answer. First, you add the two whole numbers together, giving you three. Next, since you are adding two fractions with the same denominator, you add the numerators together, which gives you ten eighths. You then convert that to one and two eighths and add the one to three which is four. Finally, you divide both the numerator and the denominator by two. The final answer is four and one-fourth.
