5/6+7/20

Let's evaluate: $\frac{5}{6}+\frac{7}{20}$

ⓘ Add fractions by using a common denominator and then adding their numerators. We choose $60$, the least common multiple of $6$ and $20$. Multiplying the numerator and the denominator by the same number does not change the fraction: $\frac{5}{6}+\frac{7}{20}$ = $\frac{5\times 10}{6\times 10}+\frac{7\times 3}{20\times 3}$ = $\frac{5\times 10+7\times 3}{6\times 10}$

$\frac{5\times 10+7\times 3}{6\times 10}$

ⓘ Multiplications are done before additions and subtractions: $5\times 10$ = $50$, $7\times 3$ = $21$

ⅰ $6\times 10$ = $60$

$\frac{50+21}{60}$

ⓘ The numerator and the denominator are computed before the division: $50+21$ = $71$

▶Result:   $\frac{71}{60}$

The numeric value of: $\frac{71}{60}$ equals:

▷ $\approx 1.1833$
