Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\boxed{\sf\frac{5}{12}=0.416666667}}[/tex]
Solution Steps:
______________________________
1.) Find the LCF of 6 and 4:
- We do this because in order to add these, they must have the same denominator. So you must find the LCF, (Least Common Factor) of 6 and 4.
2.) Convert the fractions to have the same denominator:
-
[tex]\frac{1}{6}=\frac{2}{12}[/tex]
-
[tex]\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{12}[/tex]
- [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] changes to [tex]\frac{2}{12}[/tex] by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2. And [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] changes to [tex]\frac{3}{12}[/tex] because you multiply the numerator and denominator by 3.
3.) Add the numerators:
- Since both fractions have the same denominator all you have to do is add the numerators together.
