The LCM of 5 and 1 is 5.

step 4 Write the fractions 11/5 and 12 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 11/5 + 12
= [(11 x 5)/(5 x 5)] + [(12 x 5)/(1 x 5)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 11/5 + 60/5

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/5 x (11/1 + 60/1)
= 1/5 x (11 + 60)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/5 x 71
= 71/5
11/5 + 12 = 71/5

Hence,
