Question

What is added 5 1/8 + 5/6 + 5/12=

Answer 1

$5 \frac{1}{8} + \frac{5}{6} + \frac{5}{12} = x \\ \frac{41}{8} + \frac{5}{6} + \frac{5}{12} = x \\ \frac{123}{24} + \frac{20}{24} + \frac{10}{24} = x \\ \frac{153}{24} = x \\ 6 \frac{9}{24} = x \\ \\ 6 \frac{3}{8} = x$

Answer 2

Hello!

The answer is:  $\frac{51}{8}$

Why?

We must remember the way that we can add fractions:

$\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ad+bc}{bd}$

Let's solve this problem following the next steps:

$5 \frac{1}{8}=\frac{40+1}{8}=\frac{41}{8}$

Then, adding:

$\frac{41}{8}+\frac{5}{6}=\frac{246+40}{48}=\frac{286}{48}$

Finally, adding:

$\frac{286}{48} +\frac{5}{12}=\frac{3432+240}{576}=\frac{3672}{576}=\frac{51}{8}$

Hence,

$5\frac{1}{8} +\frac{5}{6} +\frac{5}{12} =\frac{51}{8}$

Have a nice day!
