Take 8/9, you can multiply the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number and the value of the fraction does not change. Let's multiply the numerator and denominator by 4. Why 4? It will become apparent with practice. But let's proceed. So now the fraction is 32/36.
Now let's multiply the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 3. Why 3? It will become apparent with practice. But let's proceed. So the fraction becomes 21/36.
The idea is to select the numbers such that the denominators of the fractions yield the same number, in our case 36. There are other numbers that you can multiply with to get different common denominators values like 72, 108 etc. 36 is the least number. The process of finding the least number that is evenly divisible by the denominators of the two fractions is called finding the LCM (least common multiplier)
If the denominators of any number of fractions is the same the numerators can be added. Thus in our case we have 32/36 and 21/36. You can add these two fractions to get 53/36 and that is the answer.
5 over 8 as a fraction plus 7 over 12 = 15/24
(2/3) + (7/12) = (8/12) + (7/12) = 15/12 = 5/4 = 1.25
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 1/12 + 1/2 = 7/12 or seven twelfths.
5/9 + 7/12 20/36 + 21/36 41/36 = 1 5/36
One fraction that is equal to 6 over 7 is 12 over 14.
5 over 8 as a fraction plus 7 over 12 = 15/24
(2/3) + (7/12) = (8/12) + (7/12) = 15/12 = 5/4 = 1.25

1 1/3 or 4/3
1/3 + 3/4= (4 + 3)/12= 7/12
(5/6) + (3/4) = (10/12) + (9/12) = 19/12 = 1 and 7/12
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 1/12 + 1/2 = 7/12 or seven twelfths.
