6/5 + 12 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 6/5 plus 12 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 6/5 + 12 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 6/5 plus 12 = 66/5
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 6/5 plus 12 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 6/5 and fraction 12 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 5 and 1. 5 is the LCM of 5 and 1. Multiplying the LCM 5 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (6/5 x 5/5) + (12 x 5/5), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 6/5 is 6/5 and for 12 is 60/5. By simplifying this fraction addition 6/5 + 60/5, it becomes 66/5.

The LCM of 5 and 1 is 5.

step 4 Write the fractions 6/5 and 12 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 6/5 + 12
= [(6 x 5)/(5 x 5)] + [(12 x 5)/(1 x 5)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 6/5 + 60/5

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

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/5 x 66
= 66/5
6/5 + 12 = 66/5
