Simplify:$\frac{3}{4}+\frac{7}{16}+\frac{5}{8}$
✓
Answer
Given: $\frac{3}{4}+\frac{7}{16}+\frac{5}{8}$$=\frac{3\times4}{4\times4}+\frac{7\times1}{16\times1}+\frac{5\times2}{8\times2}$ (because LCM of 4, 16 and 8 is 16)
$=\frac{12}{16}+\frac{7}{16}+\frac{10}{16}$
$=\frac{12+7+10}{16}$
$=\frac{29}{16}$
$=\frac{12}{16}+\frac{7}{16}+\frac{10}{16}$
$=\frac{12+7+10}{16}$
$=\frac{29}{16}$
