To add, you need a common denominator, a number that 3,12, and 5 will all divide into. In this case 60 is the best.

1/3=20/60 5/12=25/60 4/5=48/60

add 20/60+25/60+48/60=93/60=1 33/60=1 11/20

remember that you do not add the denominators only the numerators.

first what you want to do is find a common denominator it will be 60
1/3 x 20/20 (20/60) because it will get the denominator to 60 and the what you do to the top has to be done to the bottom
5/12 x 5/5 (25/60)
4/5 x 12/12 (48/60)
Numerators: 20+25+48=93 (93/60) 93 divided by 60 is 1.55 or 1 and 11/20

1/3 + 5/12 + 4/5
4/12 + 5/12 + 4/5
9/12 + 4/5
45/60 + 48/60 = 93/60 = 31/20 = 1.55

nicely first u could desire to make all the denominators the comparable. first start up with a million/3 and 5/12 a million/3 + 5/12 // to get the comparable denominator you're able to be able to desire to locate the least undemanding different of three and 12. which occurs to be 12. 4/12 + 5/12 = 9/12 now upload the 4/5 9/12 + 4/5 = ? now u could locate the least undemanding different of 12 and 5, which occurs to be 60. 40 5/60 + 40 8/60 = ninety 3/60 or a million and 11/20

= 20/60 + 25/60 + 48/60
= 93/60
= 31/20
= 1 11/20

1/3=20/60
5/12=25/60
4/5=48/60

20+25+48=93

ans = 93/60

LCD = 60

20/60 + 25/60 + 48/60 = 93/60

= 1 33/60

Find what the fraction equals and then add them all up.
1/3=0.333
5/12=0.417
4/5=0.8
0.333+0.417+0.8=1.55

If you want another way, I can show you, just email me.
