Solve 25/12+111/12

$$2 \frac { 5 } { 12 } + 1 \frac { 11 } { 12 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{13}{3}\approx 4.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 12 to get 24.

$$\frac{24+5}{12}+\frac{1\times 12+11}{12}$$

Add 24 and 5 to get 29.

$$\frac{29}{12}+\frac{1\times 12+11}{12}$$

Multiply 1 and 12 to get 12.

$$\frac{29}{12}+\frac{12+11}{12}$$

Add 12 and 11 to get 23.

$$\frac{29}{12}+\frac{23}{12}$$

Since \frac{29}{12} and \frac{23}{12} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{29+23}{12}$$

Add 29 and 23 to get 52.

$$\frac{52}{12}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{52}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$\frac{13}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{13}{3} = 4\frac{1}{3} = 4.333333333333333$$
