when the sum of 1/4 and 1/2

This can be done by making both the denominators equal(by taking the LCM ) and trhen adding the numerators

product of 1/4 and 1/2

Divided by

= 6
Let total number of pentagons and hexagons = X
Then of X = 12
= 12
Cross Multiplying
X = 32
If 12 pentagons are there then there are 32-12 = 20 hexagons
