1 7/12 (one and seven-twelfths)
3 3/8
To add the fractions five ninths and negative three eighths, you need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of nine and eight is 72. Convert both fractions to have a denominator of 72 and then add the numerators. The result is -17/72.
One third is four-twelfths, one quarter is three-twelfths, add one-twelfth. So the total is eight-twelfths (two thirds).
A common denominator is 32.
Add five eighths
The denominators are different, so find the equivalent fractions using the LCD , then add the fractions with the denominators.
Four eighths
1 7/12 (one and seven-twelfths)
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)
five twelfths 7/12 + 5/12 = (7 + 5)/12 = 12/12 = 1/1 = 1
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.

Well, isn't that a lovely little math question! Half of five is two and a half, and half of three eights is one and a half eights. So, when you add them together, you get three and six eights. Just remember, there are no mistakes in math, only happy little accidents.
To find the number of eighths in two and three quarters, we first convert the whole number 2 to eighths, which is 16/8. Then, we add the three quarters, which is 3/4, to get a total of 19/4. To simplify this, we multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator, giving us 19/4. Therefore, there are 19 eighths in two and three quarters.
One third is four-twelfths, one quarter is three-twelfths, add one-twelfth. So the total is eight-twelfths (two thirds).
