Solve 7/12+11/12+5/12

$$\frac { 7 } { 12 } + \frac { 11 } { 12 } + \frac { 5 } { 12 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{23}{12}\approx 1.916666667$$

Solution Steps

Since \frac{7}{12} and \frac{11}{12} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{7+11}{12}+\frac{5}{12}$$

Add 7 and 11 to get 18.

$$\frac{18}{12}+\frac{5}{12}$$

Since \frac{18}{12} and \frac{5}{12} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{18+5}{12}$$

Add 18 and 5 to get 23.

$$\frac{23}{12}$$

Factor

$$\frac{23}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 1\frac{11}{12} = 1.9166666666666667$$
