Verify

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 12 to get 24.

$$12+\frac{3}{24}=\frac{5}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{24} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

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

Convert 12 to fraction \frac{96}{8}.

$$\frac{96}{8}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{5}{8}$$

Since \frac{96}{8} and \frac{1}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{96+1}{8}=\frac{5}{8}$$

Add 96 and 1 to get 97.

$$\frac{97}{8}=\frac{5}{8}$$

Compare \frac{97}{8} and \frac{5}{8}.

$$\text{false}$$
