Solve 5/8+(3/8+1/12)

$$\frac { 5 } { 8 } + ( \frac { 3 } { 8 } + \frac { 1 } { 12 } )$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{13}{12}\approx 1.083333333$$

Solution Steps

Since \frac{5}{8} and \frac{3}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{5+3}{8}+\frac{1}{12}$$

Add 5 and 3 to get 8.

$$\frac{8}{8}+\frac{1}{12}$$

Divide 8 by 8 to get 1.

$$1+\frac{1}{12}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{12}{12}.

$$\frac{12}{12}+\frac{1}{12}$$

Since \frac{12}{12} and \frac{1}{12} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{12+1}{12}$$

Add 12 and 1 to get 13.

$$\frac{13}{12}$$

Factor

$$\frac{13}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 1\frac{1}{12} = 1.0833333333333333$$
