Question

What is the sum of 5/12 and 4/9

Answer 1

`(31)/(36)`

Explanation:

To get the sum you have to have the same denominator.

So you have to find out what can 12 and 9 go into without leaving a remainder which is 36.

Then you divide 36 by 12= 3 and 36 by 9= 4

Then you multiply 3 by 5= 15 and 4 by 4= 16

You add then up and you get 31

So 31/36 is the answer.
