What is the sum of 3/8 and 1/12?

Solution

The problem in the image is:

38+112\frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{12}

Solution:

To add these two fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) of 8 and 12 is 24.

  1. Convert each fraction to have the denominator 24:

    • 38\frac{3}{8} can be rewritten as 3×38×3=924\frac{3 \times 3}{8 \times 3} = \frac{9}{24}
    • 112\frac{1}{12} can be rewritten as 1×212×2=224\frac{1 \times 2}{12 \times 2} = \frac{2}{24}
  2. Now add the fractions: 924+224=9+224=1124\frac{9}{24} + \frac{2}{24} = \frac{9 + 2}{24} = \frac{11}{24}

So, the answer is:

1124\frac{11}{24}
