What is 2 over 3 plus 5 over 12?

Answer 1

To solve for the answer of 2/3 + 5/12 , a good place to start would be to convert to a common denominator. To get 2/3 to have a denominator of 12, all you need to do is multiply 2/3 by 4/4 to get 8/12. Once you have a common denominator, you can just add the numerators and then simplify.

2/3 + 5/12 = (2*4)/(3*4) + 5/12 = 8/12 + 5/12 = (8+5)/12 = 13/12 = 1.0833
