$add \: \frac{5}{12} and \: \frac{3}{8}$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{12} + \frac{3}{8} \\ = \frac{10 + 9}{24} \\ = \frac{19}{24}$

Answer 2

$\huge\underline{\underline\frak{AnSwEr: -}}$

Clearly, denominators of the given numbers are positive.

The LCM of denominators 12 and 8 is 24 .

$Now,\: we \: express\: 512 \: \\ \frac{5}{12} and \: \frac{3}{8} </p><p>$

into forms in which both of them have the same denominator 24 .

we have,

$\frac{5}{12} = \frac{5 \times 2}{12 \times 2} = \frac{10}{24} \\ and \\ \frac{3}{8} = \frac{3 \times 3}{8 \times 3} = \frac{9}{24}$

$\frac{5}{12} + \frac{3}{8} = \frac{10}{24} + \frac{9}{24 }$

$= \frac{10 + 9}{24} \\ \\ = \frac{19}{24}$
