Answer:
[tex] \frac{1}{2} + \frac{10}{12} \: = \: \boxed{\frac{4}{3}} [/tex]
Explanation:
[tex] \frac{1}{2} + \frac{10}{12} \: = \: \frac{1 × 6}{2 × 6} + \frac{10}{12} \: = \: \frac{6}{12} + \frac{10}{12} \: = \: \frac{6 + 10}{12} \: = \frac{16}{12} \: = \: \frac{16 ÷ 4}{12 ÷ 4} \: = \: \frac{4}{3}[/tex]
