The converted fractions are 3/12 and 5/12 and the sum is 2/3
<h3>How to convert the fractions?</h3>
From the question, the fractions are given as
1/4 and 5/12
The denominators of these fractions are
4 and 12
So. we start by calculating the LCD of the denominators
So, we have
4 = 2* 2
12 = 2 * 2 * 3
This gives
LCD = 2 * 2 * 3
Evaluate
LCD = 12
This means that the common denominator must be 12
So, we have
1/4 and 5/12
Multiply 1/4 by 3/3
This gives
3/12 and 5/12
When the fractions are added, we have
3/12 + 5/12 = (3 + 5)/12
Evaluate
3/12 + 5/12 = 8/12
Reduce fraction
3/12 + 5/12 = 2/3
Hence, the sum of the fractions is 2/3

Answer:
You begin with 1 bacteria, and after 1 hour it has tripled so you now have 1 x 3=3.
Next hour, it triples again so you now have 1 x 3 x 3=9
You can see the pattern shows that the number of bacteria is multiplying every hour by a factor of 3. An exponent denotes how many times we are multiplying a number by itself, for example: 34 means we are multiplying the number 3 a total of 4 times (3 x 3 x 3 x 3).
Therefore the question is requiring us to triple the number of bacteria every hour for 24 hours, which means we are multiplying by 3 a total of 24 times. This gives us:
n x 324 where n is the number of bacteria you begin with.
Since you begin with 1 bacteria, the solution is 1 x 3 to the power 24 and u will get ur answer
