Fractions must share a common denominator in order to be added or subtracted. The common denominator is the least common multiple of all the denominators.
What is \( \frac{5}{8} \) + \( \frac{8}{12} \)?
| 1 \( \frac{9}{24} \) | |
| 1\(\frac{7}{24}\) | |
| 2 \( \frac{2}{24} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{6}{24} \) |
