(a)/(4)+(a)/(6) - addition of fractions

Solution for the given fractions

• a/4 + a/6 = ?
• The common denominator of the two fractions is: 12
• a/4 = (3*a)/(3*4) = (3*a)/12
• a/6 = (2*a)/(2*6) = (2*a)/12
• Fractions adjusted to a common denominator
• a/4 + a/6 = (3*a)/12 + (2*a)/12
• (3*a)/12 + (2*a)/12 = (3*a+2*a)/12
• (3*a+2*a)/12 = (5*a)/12

Solution for the given fractions

$ \frac{a}{4 }+\frac{ a}{6 }=? $

The common denominator of the two fractions is: 12

$ \frac{a}{4 }= \frac{(3*a)}{(3*4)} = \frac{(3*a)}{12} $

$ \frac{a}{6 }= \frac{(2*a)}{(2*6)} = \frac{(2*a)}{12} $

Fractions adjusted to a common denominator

$ \frac{a}{4 }+\frac{ a}{6 }= \frac{(3*a)}{12 }+ \frac{(2*a)}{12} $

$ \frac{(3*a)}{12 }+ \frac{(2*a)}{12 }= \frac{(3*a+2*a)}{12} $

$ \frac{(3*a+2*a)}{12 }= \frac{(5*a)}{12} $
