barxatty [35]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{6}{8}=15\dfrac{5}{12}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{6}{8}=2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{6:2}{8:2}=2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\text{Find}\ LCD:\\\\\text{List of multiples of 3:}\ 0,\ 3,\ 6,\ 9,\ \boxed{12},\ 15,\ ...\\\text{List of multiples of 4:}\ 0,\ 4,\ 8,\ \boxed{12},\ 16,\ ...\\\\12=3\cdot4\\\\\text{therefore}\\\\\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{2\cdot4}{3\cdot4}=\dfrac{8}{12}\\\\\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{3\cdot3}{4\cdot3}=\dfrac{9}{12}\\\\2\dfrac{2}{3}+12\dfrac{3}{4}=2\dfrac{8}{12}+12\dfrac{9}{12}=(2+12)+\dfrac{8+9}{12}=14+\dfrac{17}{12}\\\\=14+1\dfrac{5}{12}=15\dfrac{5}{12}$
