5 1/12 + 5 12/12 =
To add the two mixed numbers, follow these steps:
1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
– For 5 1/12: (5 times 12 + 1 = 60 + 1 = 61) → ( frac{61}{12} )
– For 5 12/12: This is simply 5 (or (frac{5 times 12}{12} = frac{60}{12})).
2. Now add the two improper fractions:
[
frac{61}{12} + frac{60}{12} = frac{61 + 60}{12} = frac{121}{12}
]
3. Convert (frac{121}{12}) back to a mixed number:
– Divide 121 by 12: 121 ÷ 12 = 10 R1 (this means 10 whole parts and a remainder of 1).
– So, (frac{121}{12} = 10 frac{1}{12}).
Therefore, the final answer is:
10 1/12.
This process combines the whole numbers and the fractional parts separately, making it easier to add mixed numbers. Keep practicing, and you’ll become even more confident with fractions! If you need more assistance, feel free to check our extended services page.
