Answer: 1/8 + 7/12 = 17/24
Solutions:
To add the fractional values like in the given question
we used the concept of LCM
First, we need to calculate the LCM of 8 and 12
LCM(8,12) = 24
Now, 1/8 + 7/12 = (1x3 + 7x2)/24 = (3+14)/24 = 17/24
Therefore,
1/8 + 7/12 = 17/24
To calculate the LCM of 8 and 12
Factors of 8 = 1x2x2x2
Factors of 12 = 1x2x2x3
LCM(8,12) = all the common factors x non-common factors = 1x2x2x2x3 = 24
