Answer 2

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

$\frac{7}{6}$

»»————-　★　————-««  

Here’s why:  

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\frac{8}{12}+ \frac{1}{2}\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\\rightarrow \frac{8}{12}=\frac{8/4}{12/4}=\frac{2}{3}\\\\\rightarrow\frac{2}{3}+ \frac{1}{2}\\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\\rightarrow LCM(3,2): 6\\\\\rightarrow \frac{2}{3} =\frac{2*2}{3*2} =\frac{4}{6}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1*3}{2*3}=\frac{3}{6} \\\rule{150}{0.5}\\\rightarrow \frac{4}{6} +\frac{3}{6}\\\\\rightarrow\boxed{\frac{7}{6}}$
