Question

Write 9/12 as a sum of unit fractions

Answer 1

Unit fractions are rational number with 1 as the numerator and the denominator as a positive integer. For example, 1/2 or 1/8.

$\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{9}{12}$
$( \frac{1}{2}* \frac{6}{6} ) + ( \frac{1}{4}* \frac{6}{3} )$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{4} =\frac{9}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit fractions have a one in the numerator, in this case we need two unit fractions that when we sum them we get 9/12.

I will use the fractions 1/2 and 1/4, because when we sum them we get:

$\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{4} =\frac{6}{12} +\frac{3}{12} =\frac{6+3}{12} =\frac{9}{12}$

the result is the $\frac{9}{12}$ that we are asked for.
