Question

2/3 + 9/12 add fractions with unlike denominators

Answer 1

Answer:

$1\frac{5}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{3} + \frac{9}{12}$   <-- let's change 2/3 into a fraction that has 12 as the denominator

$\frac{2}{3}$ × 4   <-- multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 4

2 × 4 = 8   <-- new numerator

3 × 4 = 12   <-- new denominator

now we have $\frac{8}{12}$ + $\frac{9}{12}$

$\frac{8}{12}$ + $\frac{9}{12}$ = $\frac{17}{12}$    <-- let's change it into a mixed number

17 ÷ 12 = $1\frac{5}{12}$
