If you eat 1/6 of a pizza then later eat another 5/12 how much have you eaten?
2/12 + 5/12 = _____
To calculate how much pizza you have eaten, you need to add the two fractions together.
First, convert both fractions to have the same denominator. To find the common denominator, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 12, which is 12.
Next, multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction, 1/6, by 2, since 6 multiplied by 2 gives you 12. This gives you 2/12.
Now, you can add the fractions together.
2/12 + 5/12 = (2 + 5)/12 = 7/12
Therefore, you have eaten 7/12 of the pizza.
