6 5/12+ 10 2/3=? please explain how??

Answer 1

17 1/12. First add the 6 and the 10 to get 16. The trick for the fractions is that you need to have common denominators (the bottom numbers of the fractions). 3 goes into 12 four times, so multiply the 2 in 2/3 by that same four times. This means you end up with 6 5/12 + 10 8/12. Add the two together and you have 16 13/12 or 17 1/12.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

2/3 x 4/4 = 8/12
you can do that because 4/4 is the same as 1,

so if 2/3 = 8/12, then:

6 5/12 + 10 2/3 becomes:
6 5/12 + 10 8/12 = 16 13/12 which reduces to 17 1/12

Answer 3

6 5/12+ 10 2/3 = ?

ok, you first do one number then the second number so you dont get so many complicated numbers together.

1) 6 5/12 is you have six 12 and 5 more, how many are there?
6 times 12 is 72, plus 5 is 77
so 77/12 (dont forget the /12 since its a fraction)

2)10 2/3 you have ten 3 and two more, how many are there?
10 times 3 is 30, plus 2, 32
so 32/3 (dont forget the /3 since its a fraction)

Now, do you follow?
add 1) and 2)
77/12 + 32/3, but you cant do (77+32)/ (12+3)
Its like the bottom always have to be the same in order to add or subtract for fractions...

The way I suggest is 12 times 3, its always work as
a/b + c/d = ad/bd + cb/db = (ad+cb)/ bd
So 12 times 3 is 36.
77/12 + 32/3
77/12 will be (77*3) / (12*3) = 231 / 36

32/3 will be (32*12) / (3*12) = 384 / 36

We add them together,

231 / 36 + 384 / 36 = (231+384) / 36 = 615 / 36
If you prefer to have a decimals, its 17.08333

Do you follow?
Do it again, faster 6 5/12+ 10 2/3

(72+5) / 12 + (30+2) / 3 = 77/12 + 32/3

= 231 / 36 + 384 / 36 = 615 / 36 = 205 / 12 (a more simplified version of answer)

*still confused? write back

Answer 4

ah fractions. first off, forget the whole numbers, you need to make the fractions match up.

You've got 5/12 th's and 2/3rd's. How do you make them match you ask. Well... let's look at the 12 and the 3. How the heck do you make them equal? hmm..... well. 3 x 4 = 12 right? okay, Well, since you make that 3 turn into a 12, you need to do the same with the 2, so.... 2 x 4 = 8, so, now you have...... *drumroll*

6 5/12 + 10 8/12= 16 13/12
OH WAIT! You need to simplify that!

How about 17 1/12?

6 2/12 + 10 2/3 = 17 1/12

fin!

Answer 5

Change them both to have a common denominator... like you have 6 5/12 12 times 6 =72 + 5

77/12 + 10 2/3 change 2/3 to have 12 as the denominator... by multiplying both top and bottom by 4 8/12


12 times 10 = 120 + 8

77/12 + 128/12 = 205/12

you then add both numberators then divide by denominator.

17 1/12


i hope that helped.

Answer 6

find common denominator for the fractions and add the two. 6 5/12 + 10 8/12= 16 13/12 = 17 1/12

Answer 7

Six and five twelfths, plus ten and two thirds. Begin by making both into improper fractions. 77 over 12 and 32 over 3. Find the Least Common Multiple of the denominators. Which is twelve, multiply 32 over 3 by four, so that the denominator is twelve. this makes 128 over 12 plus 77 over 12 which is 205 over 12, which does not reduce. But could be made into a mixed number, 17 and 1 over 12.

Answer 8

6 5/12 + 10 8/12
16 13/12
17 1/12

Answer 9

Find a common denominator which for both it would be 12. Then add them both to get 16 7/12.

Answer 10

1. Log base [5] of (8/12) so Log base 5 of 2/3 Reason is when you subtract to logarithms of the same base, you can divide what's in the parentheses. 2. Same situation as the first one, both logs are base e. ln 16/4 or ln 4 3. log (5x^2) 4. 4 log base 16 of 6
