1/2+ 1 1/3+1 5/12  What does that equal?

$$\\{1\over 2}+ 1 {1\over 3}+1 {5\over 12}\\\\ ={1\over 2}+ 1 +{1\over 3}+1 +{5\over 12}\\\\ =2+{1\over 2}+{1\over 3}+{5\over 12}\\\\ =2+ {1\over 2} \times( {3\over3}\times {12\over12} ) + {1\over 3} \times( {2\over2}\times {12\over12} ) + {5\over 12} \times( {2\over2}\times {3\over3} ) \\\\ =2+{5*12+5*6\over 2*3*12}\\\\ =2+{6\over6}\times{5*2+5\over 2*3*2}=2+{5*2+5\over 2*3*2}\\\\ =2+{15\over 12}=2+{3*5\over3*4}\\\\ =2+({3\over3})\times{5\over 4}=2+{5\over4}\\\\ =2+1+{1\over 4}=3+{1\over4}\\\\ =3{1\over4}$$

Here is the answer to your question. 3 1/4

To solve that problem, you need to make the denominators the same. So, you add 6/12 plus 1 4/12 plus 1 5/12. So the answer is 3 1/4.
