Question

How do you simplify $\frac{3}{4}+\frac{5}{6}$ ?

Answer 1

Convert each term into a form with the same value in the denominator for both; then add the numerators to get
$\frac{19}{12}=1\frac{7}{12}$
Explanation:
$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{12}$
$\frac{5}{6}=\frac{10}{12}$
So
$\frac{3}{4}+\frac{5}{6}=\frac{9}{12}+\frac{10}{12}$
$=\frac{9+10}{12}$
$=\frac{19}{12}$
or, as a mixed fraction,
$=1\frac{7}{12}$
