Question

Four sevenths plus five sixths

Answer 1

`(59)/(42)` or
`1(17)/(42)`

Explanation:

`(4)/(7) + (5)/(6)` (These fractions are not like and we can't add them so we must convert them to like fractions by multiplying them to get a common denominator, the LCM of 7 and 6 is also their product which is 42, because these numbers are co-prime)

`(4*6)/(7*6) = (24)/(42), (5*7)/(6*7) = (35)/(42)` (We can add these now that they are like)

`(24 + 35)/(42) = (59)/(42)` or
`1(17)/(42)`
