Question

In the U.S. 1/3 of the corn grown is produced in Iowa. 5/12 of it is produced in Nebraska. How much of the corn supply is grown in these two states?

Answer 1

Answer:

9/12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 + 5/12

In order to add an unlike fraction we need to find the LCM of the denominators . Which is the LCM of 3 and 12 which is 12 .

now make both the denominators 12

1 x 4 / 3 x 4  +  5 x 1 / 12 x 1

4/12 + 5/12

= 9/12
