Trisha bought a carton of orange juice. She drank 1/3 of the carton on Monday and 5/12 of the carton on Tuesday. What fraction of the carton did Trisha drink?

9/12 or 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Make both fractions have the same denominator by finding their least common multiple

1x12 = 12                1x3 = 3

2x6 = 12                3x1 = 3

3x4 = 12

4x3 = 12

6x2 = 12

12x1 = 12

In which case it would be 12.

1/3 would be 4/12

5/12 + 4/12 = 9/12

which is also 2/3 if your teacher wants the simplest answer

3: 2

step-by-step explanation:

shorter piece is 2: 3, so just reverse it, and you get 3: 2
