Question

What is 3/4 plus 5/6 equal

Answer 1

Okay Megan831, the first thing we must do is find a common denominator.
We do this by find what 4 and 6 will both fit into. 
In this case they both fit into 12

Now knowing this we want to make 12 the denominator for both 3/4 and 5/6, but we must remember to change to numerator too so that the value of both the numbers doesn't change.
3/4 =  9/12 and 5/6 = 10/12

The problem should now look like this....
9/12 + 10/12
Since the denominator of the two are the same we can simply add the numerators   9 + 10 = 19
, but remember to keep the denominator 12

so it should look something like this.....
19/12

Answer 2

You need to find a common denominator, so 12. Convert the fractions:

9/12 + 10/12

Then add.

9/12 + 10/12 = 19/12
