Solve 1div12+1div24+1div8

$$1 \div 12+1 \div 24+1 \div 8$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{4}=0.25$$

Solution Steps

Least common multiple of 12 and 24 is 24. Convert \frac{1}{12} and \frac{1}{24} to fractions with denominator 24.

$$\frac{2}{24}+\frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Since \frac{2}{24} and \frac{1}{24} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{2+1}{24}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

$$\frac{3}{24}+\frac{1}{8}$$

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

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

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

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

Add 1 and 1 to get 2.

$$\frac{2}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{1}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{2 ^ {2}} = 0.25$$
