Can you help me find the answer please

Answer 1

the answer is 1 / 12 I got this because I know that 1/2 equals a half so half of 12 is 6 so 6/12 is simply 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=\frac{1}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be $x$.

The given equation then becomes;

$\frac{5}{12} +x=\frac{1}{2}$

Group similar terms

$x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{5}{12}$

Collect the LCM on the Right Hand Side.

$x=\frac{6-5}{12}$

This implies that;

$x=\frac{1}{12}$
