1) \(\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{16}+\frac{3}{4}\)
\(=\frac{4}{48}+\frac{3}{48}+\frac{36}{48}\)
\(=\frac{4+3+36}{48}\)
\(=\frac{43}{48}\)
2) a) \(\frac{1}{15}+\frac{4}{15}+\frac{5}{18}+\frac{7}{18}\)
\(=\left(\frac{1}{15}+\frac{4}{15}\right)+\left(\frac{5}{18}+\frac{7}{18}\right)\)
\(=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=1\)
b) \(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{3}{8}+\frac{5}{12}\)
\(=\left(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{8}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{12}+\frac{5}{12}\right)\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=1\)
