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 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.
