Question

Which of the following is the sum of 7/12 and 3/12?(Hint: Simplest form or lowest form) *

1. 4/6
2. 21/12
3. 4/12
4. 5/6

Answer 1

7/12+3/12=10/12

10/12=5/6

answer 4.5/6

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The sum of $\frac{7}{12}$ and $\frac{3}{12}$  will be $\frac{5}{6}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

In context to the question asked,

We have to find the sum of the given fraction,

As per data given in the question,

We have,

$\frac{7}{12}$ and $\frac{3}{12}$

To find the sum of given fractions, we must first equalize their denominators by taking the LCM if they are not equal.

Since, both the fraction have the same denominator:

Add the numerators,

$=> \frac{7}{12}+\frac{3}{12}$

$=> \frac{7+3}{12}$

=> $\frac{10}{12}$

Now, reducing it to its lowest term we get

=> $\frac{5}{6}$

Hence, the required solution is $\frac{5}{6}$.
