Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6
notice that the denominators consists of the numbers 3, 4 and 6 and that the lowest common multiple for all 3 numbers is 12, hence all these fractions can be expressed with a denominator of 12
i.e
1/3 = 4/12
1/4 = 3/12
1/6 = 2/12
hence,
1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6
= 4/12 + 3/12 + 2/12
= (4+3+2) / 12
= 9/12 (simply)
= 3/4
Answer: 9/12 or simplified 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
first, make the denominator the same to add them.
1/3 will become 4/12 because common denominator is 12 and to turn 3 into 12 u have to multiply both numbers in the fraction by 4
4/12 + 3/12 + 2/12 = 9/12 but simplified is 3/4
a better way of understanding this is 1/2 + 2/4
the denominator for both should be 4 so to make 1/2 have a denominator of 4, multiply both numbers by 2 to make it 2/4.
1/2 + 2/4 = 2/4 + 2/4 = 4/4 = 1
