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
To add one half to five-eighths, first convert one half to eighths. One half is equivalent to four-eighths. Then, add four-eighths to five-eighths: (4/8 + 5/8 = 9/8). Therefore, one half added to five-eighths equals nine-eighths, or 1 and 1/8.
To add five-sixths and five-eighths, first find a common denominator, which is 24. Converting the fractions, five-sixths becomes 20/24 and five-eighths becomes 15/24. Adding these gives 20/24 + 15/24 = 35/24. This can be expressed as 1 and 11/24.

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.
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.

To add three eighths and five twelfths, first find a common denominator, which is 24. Convert three eighths to 9/24 and five twelfths to 10/24. Adding these together gives 19/24. Therefore, three eighths plus five twelfths equals 19/24.
That would be 5 eighths. Since 1/2 is equal to 4 eighths, you simply add 1 and 4 together to make five. (The eighths part stays the same)
Each time, you add one to the numerator and one to the denominator.

To add five eighths and one ninth, first find a common denominator, which is 72. Convert five eighths to 45/72 and one ninth to 8/72. Adding these gives 53/72. Therefore, five eighths plus one ninth equals 53/72.
