5/9 + 1/12
--------------
Cross multiply, similar to equations
= (N1*D2 + N2*D1)/D1*D2 N = Numerator, D = Denominator
= (5*12 + 1*9)/(9*12
= 69/108
= 23/36
==================
Conventional method:
Find a common denominator. The product always works
5/9 + 1/12 = 60/108 + 9/108
= 69/108
etc
------------
Don't waste time fretting about the LCD, the Least Common Denominator.
