Question

solve the following


3/8 + 9/4 - 5/12 + 5/4​

Answer 1

3/8 + 9/4 - 5/12 + 5/4
Lcm of 8,4,12,4=24
3/8*3/3=9/24
9/4*6/6=54/24
5/12*2/2=10/24
5/4*6/6=30/24
9/24+54/24-10/24+30/24

=83/24

Answer 2

Concept: This is the question of simplification of fractions. In this type of question first, we take the LCM of the denominator and then solve it.

Given:  $\frac{3}{8} + \frac{9}{4}- \frac{5}{12}+\frac{5}{4}$

To find: Solution to the given question

Solution:

To solve the given question first we take the LCM of the denominator

$\frac{3}{8} + \frac{9}{4}- \frac{5}{12} +\frac{5}{4}$

$= \frac{9+54-10+30}{24}$

$= \frac{83}{24}$

Hence the right answer of question is $\frac{83}{24}$
