Solve f+5/12=3/4

$$f + \frac { 5 } { 12 } = \frac { 3 } { 4 }$$

Solve for f

$$f=\frac{1}{3}\approx 0.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{5}{12} from both sides.

$$f=\frac{3}{4}-\frac{5}{12}$$

Least common multiple of 4 and 12 is 12. Convert \frac{3}{4} and \frac{5}{12} to fractions with denominator 12.

$$f=\frac{9}{12}-\frac{5}{12}$$

Since \frac{9}{12} and \frac{5}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$f=\frac{9-5}{12}$$

Subtract 5 from 9 to get 4.

$$f=\frac{4}{12}$$

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

$$f=\frac{1}{3}$$
