Question

What number should be added to 5 by 12 to get 2,3 by 8 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

59/24

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number to be added be x

5/12 + x = 23/8

so x = 23/8-5/12

LCM = 24

= 5/12 x 2/2 - 23/8 x 3/3

= 69/24-10/24

x= 59/24

therefore 59/24 should be added to 5/12 to get 23/8
