What is 2/3 + 1/12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how can we add both fractions?

Parth (parthkohli):

\[{2 \over 3} + {1 \over 12} = {8 \over 12} + {1\over 12}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe this is LCM.

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes, it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9/12 is wrong.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

why ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no idea. That is why I am here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you further simplify 9/12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(i.e. can you perfectly divide both 9 and 12 by a common factor)

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes because the 9 you can writing like 3*3 and the 12 like 3*4 so after you can simplifie

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
