Question
Find the sum: $\frac{5}{6}+\frac{7}{8}$
✓
Answer
$\frac{5}{6}+\frac{7}{8}$ $LCM$ of $6$, and $8 = 24$
$\therefore\frac{5}{6}=\frac{5\times4}{6\times4}=\frac{20}{24}$
$\frac{7}{8}=\frac{7\times3}{8\times3}=\frac{21}{24}$
$\therefore\frac{5}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{20}{24}=\frac{21}{24}$
$=\frac{20+21}{24}=\frac{41}{24}=1\frac{17}{24}$
$\therefore\frac{5}{6}=\frac{5\times4}{6\times4}=\frac{20}{24}$
$\frac{7}{8}=\frac{7\times3}{8\times3}=\frac{21}{24}$
$\therefore\frac{5}{6}+\frac{7}{8}=\frac{20}{24}=\frac{21}{24}$
$=\frac{20+21}{24}=\frac{41}{24}=1\frac{17}{24}$
