Solve 12/3+12/6=

$$1 \frac { 2 } { 3 } + 1 \frac { 2 } { 6 } =$$

Evaluate

$$3$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 3 to get 3.

$$\frac{3+2}{3}+\frac{1\times 6+2}{6}$$

Add 3 and 2 to get 5.

$$\frac{5}{3}+\frac{1\times 6+2}{6}$$

Multiply 1 and 6 to get 6.

$$\frac{5}{3}+\frac{6+2}{6}$$

Add 6 and 2 to get 8.

$$\frac{5}{3}+\frac{8}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{5}{3}+\frac{4}{3}$$

Since \frac{5}{3} and \frac{4}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{5+4}{3}$$

Add 5 and 4 to get 9.

$$\frac{9}{3}$$

Divide 9 by 3 to get 3.

$$3$$
