m/2+m/4=5/6 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I am trying to remember how to clear the fractions so I can then solve the equation. emphasis is on how to clear this type. Thanks
m/2+m/4=5/6
----
To clear denominators in an equation
multiply thru the equation by the
least common multiple of the denominators.

Your Problem:
The lcm is 12.
--
Multiplying thru by 12 you get:
6m + 3m = 10
9m = 10
m = 10/9
