What is the sum of 1/4 and 5/6?

Sagot :

the sum of 1/4 + 5/6 is 13/12 (in terms of ratio) or 1.083333333 
(in terms of decimal, the exact result)

What is the sum of [tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex] and [tex] \frac{5}{6}?[/tex]

[tex] \frac{1}{4} + \frac{5}{6} [/tex]

First, we need to find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of both denominators or to be exact, we need to find their LCD (Least Common Denominator).

4 = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20
6 = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30

So as we can see, their least common multiple is 12.

[tex] \frac{1}{4} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{}{12} [/tex]

We need to apply the basic rules. First, divide 12 by the denominator of the first given fraction and then multiply the quotient by the numerator.

[tex] \frac{1}{4} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{3}{12} [/tex]

Copy the sign.

[tex] \frac{1}{4} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{3}{12} +[/tex]

Apply the rule on the second fraction. Divide 12 by the denominator and then multiply the resulting quotient to the numerator.

[tex] \frac{1}{4} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{3}{12} + \frac{10}{12} [/tex]

Then add. Now, we can add because they're already similar fractions.

Note: We can't add dissimilar fractions, so you need to make those dissimilar fractions similar so that we can add them.

[tex]\frac{1}{4} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{3}{12} + \frac{10}{12} = \frac{13}{12} [/tex]

The answer is [tex] \frac{13}{12} [/tex].
