Answer 1

They all have a common denominator of 12.

\(\dfrac{2}{3} + \dfrac{7}{6} + \dfrac{7}{12} \rightarrow \dfrac{8}{12} + \dfrac{14}{12} + \dfrac{7}{12} \rightarrow \dfrac{8+14+7}{12}\)

Answer 2

29?

Answer 3

@iGreen am I right?

Answer 4

Yes, that gives us \(\dfrac{29}{12}\).

Does it want you to put it in mixed number form?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Can you do that?

Answer 7

no

Answer 8

First you divide 29 by 12, which gives you 2 and a remainder of 5.

So the whole number will be 2, and the numerator will be 5, and we keep the denominator of 12.

So what does that give us?

Answer 9

2 5/12?
