Math Problem Statement

3/4+5/6+7/9

Solution

To solve the sum 34+56+79\frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{6} + \frac{7}{9}, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators 4, 6, and 9 is 36.

We then convert each fraction to have the common denominator of 36:

34=3×94×9=2736\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 9}{4 \times 9} = \frac{27}{36}

56=5×66×6=3036\frac{5}{6} = \frac{5 \times 6}{6 \times 6} = \frac{30}{36}

79=7×49×4=2836\frac{7}{9} = \frac{7 \times 4}{9 \times 4} = \frac{28}{36}

Now, we add the fractions:

2736+3036+2836=27+30+2836=8536\frac{27}{36} + \frac{30}{36} + \frac{28}{36} = \frac{27 + 30 + 28}{36} = \frac{85}{36}

The final result is 8536\frac{85}{36}.
