Question

Add $\frac{4}{12},\frac{6}{12}$, and $\frac{1}{12}$. Choose the correct option.

• A. $\frac{10}{12}$
• B. $\frac{7}{12}$
• C. $\frac{11}{12}$
• D. $\frac{9}{12}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{11}{12}$

Let’s solve the problem stepwise.
● Observe the fractions $\frac{4}{12},\frac{6}{12},$ and $\frac{1}{12}$.
● The denominator of all the fractions is 12. This means all the 3 fractions have like denominators.
● So we can add the numerators directly.
● $\frac{4}{12}+\frac{6}{12}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{4+6+1}{12}=\frac{11}{12}$

Thus, D is the correct option.
