Answer 1

• We have to evaluate the above expression by using the given data.

            Given data:- $\frac{5}{12} +\frac{7}{24} .$

            To find:- 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,

              $\begin{array}{l}\frac{5}{12}+\frac{7}{24} \\\\=\frac{5 \times 2}{12 \times 2}+\frac{7}{24} \\\\=\frac{10}{24}+\frac{7}{24} \\\\=\frac{10+7}{24} \\\\=\frac{17}{24}\\\\\end{array}$

      Hence we will get the value is $\frac{17}{24}.$
