One eighth plus one twelfth can be calculated by first finding a common denominator, which is 24. Converting the fractions, one eighth becomes three twenty-fourths, and one twelfth becomes two twenty-fourths. Adding these together gives five twenty-fourths, which simplifies to five-twenty-fourths. Therefore, one eighth plus one twelfth equals five twenty-fourths.
One-third of twenty-four is eight. This is calculated by dividing twenty-four by three, which equals eight.
the answer is fifteen twenty-fourths
Asking what one eighth of twenty-seven is, is basically the same as asking what twenty-seven divided by eight is, and therefore the answer is '3.375'. I have put the answer in inverted commas so that it does not look like the fullstop is a second decimal point.
