4/6 + 2/12
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{4}{6} + \frac{2}{12}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ \frac{4}{6} + \frac{2}{12} = \frac{5}{6} = 0.8\overline{3} \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{4}{6}\) and \(\frac{2}{12}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{4}{6} + \frac{2}{12} &= \frac{4 \cdot 2}{6 \cdot 2} + \frac{2 \cdot 1}{12 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{8 + 2}{12} \\ &= \frac{10}{12} \\&= \frac{5}{6} \end{aligned} \]
