Simplify:$\frac{5}{6}+3+\frac{3}{4}$
✓
Answer
Given: $\frac{5}{6}+3+\frac{3}{4}$$=\frac{5}{6}+\frac{3}{1}+\frac{3}{4}$
$=\frac{5\times2}{6\times2}+\frac{3\times12}{1\times12}+\frac{3\times3}{4\times3 }$ (because LCM of 6, 1 and 4 is 12)
$=\frac{10}{12}+\frac{36}{12}+\frac{9}{12}$
$=\frac{10+36+9}{12}$
$=\frac{55}{12}$
$=\frac{5\times2}{6\times2}+\frac{3\times12}{1\times12}+\frac{3\times3}{4\times3 }$ (because LCM of 6, 1 and 4 is 12)
$=\frac{10}{12}+\frac{36}{12}+\frac{9}{12}$
$=\frac{10+36+9}{12}$
$=\frac{55}{12}$
