Question

What is `4/8+10/12`?

Answer 1

`4/3`, find a common denominator, divide common denominator by your denominator and multiply by the numerator, then add the numbers.

Explanation:

At first we have to find a common denominator (a number that both denominators can be divided by.)
In our case such number is 24.
1) We convert both fractions into something`/24`
We do this by dividing: `24/8` (common denominator/our denominator) and then multiplying the result by the numerator)
Process with the first fraction:
`24/8=3 => 3*4=12`
We do the same with the second fraction
`24/12=2, ->2*10=20`
2) We add the fraction we got.
`(12+20)/24`
And we get the result: `32/24`
If we divide this by 8, we get a final result: `4/3` or 1.3333333333333
