Answer:
5/6+1/8 = 23/24
Step-by-step explanation:
The lowest common denominator here is the smallest denominator that can be divided evenly by both 6 and 8. It is 24. Note that 6 = 2·3 and that 8 = 2·2². We use the factors 2³ and 3 to come up with the LCD 24.
Then 5/6 + 1/8 can be rewritten with this LCD as:
20/24 + 3/24 = 23/24
5/6+1/8 = 23/24
