Easy
Find the sum:
\(\frac{7}{12}\) + \(\frac{5}{8}\)
SOLUTION
The LCM of 12 and 8 = 24
\(\begin{aligned} \frac{7}{12} + \frac{5}{8} &= \frac{7(2) + 5(3)}{24} \\ &= \frac{14 + 15}{24} \\ &= \frac{29}{24}\end{aligned}\)
The sum is \(\frac{29}{24}\).
\(\begin{aligned} \frac{7}{12} + \frac{5}{8} &= \frac{7(2) + 5(3)}{24} \\ &= \frac{14 + 15}{24} \\ &= \frac{29}{24}\end{aligned}\)
The sum is \(\frac{29}{24}\).
