Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4
= (6 + 4 + 3) /12
= 13/12
13/12 + X = 3
X = 3 - (13/12)
X = (36 - 13)/1
X = 23
Therefore 23 should be added

Answer:
What should be added to (1/2+1/3+1/5) to get 3?
Answer:
Let x be the number to be added to (1/2 + 1/3 + 1/5) to get 3
Therefore:
1/2 + 1/3 + 1/5 + x = 3
Since the Lowest Common Factor (LCF) of all the denominators is 30,
1/2 + 1/3 + 1/5 + x = 3 becomes:
(15 + 10 + 6 + 30x)/30 = 3
(31 + 30x)/30 = 3
Multiplying both sides by 30 gives:
31 + 30x = 3*30
31 + 30x = 90
30x = 90 - 31
30x = 59
x = 59/30
Therefore, the number to be added to (1/2 + 1/3 + 1/5) to get 3 = 59/30
I'm not sure that my answer is correct
