Question

what is 5/9 plus 1/12

Answer 1

well you need to change the denominators

Answer 2

Whatever you want it to be, I assume, Mr. Norris :)

LOL

Ever heard of getting the Least Common Denominator?

Answer 3

so find the common demoninator

Answer 4

36?

Answer 5

yep :) then you also multiply the numerator by the same number

Answer 6

okieeee now what

Answer 7

Okay... changing the denominator...
\[\huge \frac{5}{9}\rightarrow \frac{\color{red}?}{36}\]


So, if you change the denominator, you also have to change the numerator to keep it the same fraction... so you have to, kinda ask yourself, "what did I multiply to 9, to get 36?"
Or, in quick mathematical terms, what is 36 divided by 9?

The answer to both these questions is 4.

So, you multiply the numerator (5) by 4, to get the new numerator... like so...
\[\huge \frac{5}9 \rightarrow \frac{5\times 4}{36}= \frac{20}{36}\]

Answer 8

is that the answer

Answer 9

Nope... you have to do the same to the other addend,
\[\huge \frac{1}{12}\]

and then getting the answer will be much easier :)

Good luck, Mr Norris, I know you don't need it :D

Answer 10

so it 1/6

Answer 11

Hardly
:)
because 5/9 + 1/12

Answer 12

is

Answer 13

Well, it isn't 1/6, anyway :)

Answer 14

dangggggg ittt hahah what isss itt

Answer 15

Well, to tell you the answer right away would be to insult your ability to arrive at the answer yourself, Mr. Norris :)

Come on, you can do this... let's change the denominator of 1/12...
\[\huge \frac1{12}\rightarrow \frac{\color{blue}?}{36}\]

Question is... what do you multiply to 12 so that you get 36?
