Answer:
1 13/24
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the LCD (lowest common Denominator) which will be 24. When we multiply 8 x 3 = 24 we will also multiply 5 by 3 which equals 15. So 5/8 = 15/24. Then we multiply 12 x 2 = 24, and again we also multiply the numerator by the same number which is 11 x 2 = 22. So 11/12 = 22/24.
Now that we have the LCD then we can add up the two. So 15/24 + 22/24 = 37/24. Now we need to simplify that to 1 13/24. Thank you.
