Solve f=5/2+8/24

$$f = \frac { 5 } { 2 } + \frac { 8 } { 24 }$$

Solve for f

$$f = \frac{17}{6} = 2\frac{5}{6} \approx 2.833333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{24} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 8.

$$f=\frac{5}{2}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. Convert \frac{5}{2} and \frac{1}{3} to fractions with denominator 6.

$$f=\frac{15}{6}+\frac{2}{6}$$

Since \frac{15}{6} and \frac{2}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$f=\frac{15+2}{6}$$

Add 15 and 2 to get 17.

$$f=\frac{17}{6}$$

Assign f

$$f≔\frac{17}{6}$$
