Solve the Fraction Equation: Find the Missing Addend in 5/12 + ? = 7/12

Question

Complete the missing fraction

$\frac{5}{12}+_—=\frac{7}{12}$

What is the missing fraction?

00:00 Find the unknown

00:03 According to the calculation, we know that the unknown denominator equals the given denominator

00:07 Find the number that completes the numerator to match the result's numerator

00:13 This is the correct number, so we'll substitute it in the unknown numerator

00:16 And this is the solution to the question

To solve this problem, let's proceed as follows:

Step 1: Identify the numerators of the given fractions. We have $\frac{5}{12}$ and $\frac{7}{12}$ .
Step 2: Since both fractions have the same denominator, subtract the numerator of the given fraction from the resulting fraction's numerator:

$7 - 5 = 2$

Step 3: The missing fraction is $\frac{2}{12}$ , as the denominator remains the same.

Therefore, the missing fraction is $\frac{2}{12}$ .

$\frac{2}{12}$
