Answer 2

yep you got it...now what is the LCD

Answer 3

haha no that's the exact question they asked me I just gotta find out the question marks but I'm having a terrible time I tried on problem and thought I was 100% sure on it then I got it wrong lol

Answer 4

well what did you use as LCD?

Answer 5

this is exactly what i put 1/4 = 1/ 2 + 5/12 = 5/6 = 6/ 8 = 3 4 and I got 1/8 right

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 9

anyway its all wrong because you dont know what the LCD is
LCD = least common denominator
its the number where multiples of each denominator are equal
example:
LCD of 3 and 4 is 12
3,6,9,12
4,8,12

LCD of 5 and 10 is 10
5,10
10

Answer 10

what is LCD of 4 and 12 ?

Answer 11

sorry but i gotta go...i will post solution and hopefully you can work through it
\[\frac{1}{4}+\frac{5}{12} = \frac{3}{12}+\frac{5}{12} = \frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3}\]
