Answer 2

To find : sum of rational numbers  $\frac{17}{12}\ and \ \frac{35}{8}$

Solution:

• As per given condition  we write , $\frac{17}{12} +\frac{35}{8}$
• To find the sum of given rational numbers we get need to equalize denominators of both the rational numbers. By taking LCM
• Therefore, LCM = $12$  
• Now , multiplying numerators of both rational numbers by same number as multiplied by denominators to make LCM.
• Therefore, we get , $\frac{17}{12} + \frac{35}{8} = \frac{17\times 2}{24} + \frac{35\times 3}{24}$

                                                   $= \frac{34}{24} + \frac{105}{24}$

                                                   $= \frac{139}{24}$

Hence , sum of  $\frac{17}{12}\ and \ \frac{35}{8}$  is  $\frac{139}{24}$ .
