Question

What is the sum of the fraction 2/3 and 5/24?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of 2/3 and 5/24.

So 2/3 + 5/24

We know that when we find the sum of fractions first we find the L.C.M of denominators.

The L.C.M of 3 and 24 is = 24

Then we 24 in the place of both denominators but we divide denominators L.C.M by first denominator then we multiply it by its numerator.

So 3÷24 = 8 then we multiply 2 × 8 = 16

So the first fraction is 16 / 24

Then we solve the second fraction 8n the same way

24 ÷ 24 = 1 then we multiply 1 × 5 = 5

So our sum is look like = 16/24 + 5/ 24

We find that the denominators of the both fractions are same . We know that when the denominators are same in both fractions we add only numerator.

So 16+5/24 = 21/24

So the sum of 2/3 and 5/24 is 21/24.
