a) 1 1/3 + 1/4 + 5/12 = (1 * 3 + 1)/3 + 1/4 + 5/12 = 4/3 + 1/4 + 5/12 = (4 * 4)/(3 * 4) + (1 * 3)/(4 * 3) + 5/12 = 16/12 + 3/12 + 5/12 = (16 + 3 + 5)/12 = 24/12 = 2 (ч)
б) 5/12 - 1/4 = (5 - 1 * 3)/12 = (5 - 3)/12 = 2/12 = 1/6 (ч)
в) 1 1/3 + 1/4 = (1 * 3 + 1)/3 + 1/4 = 4/3 + 1/4 = (4 * 4)/(3 * 4) + (1 * 3)/(4 * 3) = 16/12 + 3/12 = (16 + 3)/12 = 19/12 = 1 7/12 (ч)
Ответ: а) 2 ч; б) 1/6 ч; в) 1 7/12 ч
