Question

Add 5/24 to the sum of 7/12 and 15/4​

Answer 1

• As per the data given in the question, we have to find the value of the expression.

       Given data:- $\frac{5}{24}+ (\frac{7}{12}+\frac{15}{4}).$

       To find:- the value of the given expression.

       Solution:-

• We will take the LCM of the denominators, and make denominators the same.
• We will Convert the given fractions to equivalent fractions with the denominator as the LCM.
• Adding the numerators over the denominators.

         Therefore,

          $=\frac{5}{24}+(\frac{7}{12}+\frac{5}{4})\\=\frac{5}{24}+(\frac{7\times1+15\times3}{12})\\=\frac{5}{24}+\frac{52}{12}\\=\frac{5+52\times2}{24}\\=\frac{109}{24}.$

     Hence, the value will be $\frac{109}{24}.$
