The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of dividing the sum of \( \frac{65}{12} \) and \( \frac{8}{3} \) by their difference, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the sum of \( \frac{65}{12} \) and \( \frac{8}{3} \). To add these two fractions, we need a common denominator. The denominators are 12 and 3. The least common multiple (LCM) of 12 and 3 is 12. Now, we convert \( \frac{8}{3} \) to have a denominator of 12: \[ \frac{8}{3} = \frac{8 \times 4}{3 \times 4} = \frac{32}{12} \] Now we can add the two fractions: \[ \frac{65}{12} + \frac{32}{12} = \frac{65 + 32}{12} = \frac{97}{12} \] ### Step 2: Find the difference of \( \frac{65}{12} \) and \( \frac{8}{3} \). Using the same common denominator of 12, we can subtract: \[ \frac{65}{12} - \frac{32}{12} = \frac{65 - 32}{12} = \frac{33}{12} \] ### Step 3: Divide the sum by the difference. Now we need to divide the sum \( \frac{97}{12} \) by the difference \( \frac{33}{12} \): \[ \frac{97}{12} \div \frac{33}{12} \] When dividing fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal: \[ \frac{97}{12} \times \frac{12}{33} \] The 12s in the numerator and denominator cancel out: \[ \frac{97}{33} \] ### Final Answer: The final result is: \[ \frac{97}{33} \] ---
