that would be four hours.
12x3=36
1 hour 20 minutes x3= 4 hours
Answer: 17/24
Step-by-step explanation: Notice that 1/8 and 7/12 are unlike fractions. Our first step when adding unlike fractions is to get a common denominator.
The common denominator of 8 and 12 will be the least common multiple of 8 and 12 which is 24. To get a 24 in the denominator of 1/8, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 which gives us 3/24. To get a 24 in the denominator of 7/12, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2 which gives us 14/24. Now we're adding like fractions.
3/24 + 14/24
To add like fractions or fractions that have the same denominator, simply add the numerators and keep the original denominator.
So here, if we add the numerators we have 3 + 14 which gives us 17. We put this over our original denominator which is 24. So we have 17/24.
So 1/8 + 7/12 is 17/24.
First observe that if

Let 
and 
. It follows that
Now let 
, so 
. Solving for 
,
which means
Now solve for 
.
(note that we assume 
)
(we omit 
since 
is not true)
I think the answer would be 1/2 but i’m not sure if that’s what it’s asking
