Question

I don't know what 1/4+12 equals. Help!

Answer 1

1/4 + 12

= 0.25 + 12 = 12.25

or

1/4 + 12

= 1/4 + 48/4 = 49/4 = 12 1/4 = 12.25

or use a calculator

plug in 1 divided by 4, then add the result to 12

it probably will show up as 12.25, which also equals 12 1/4 which also = 49/4

UNLESS, there's a tiny chance what you wrote was realy intended to mean 1/(4+12)

then that equals 1/16 = 0.0625

But that seems unlikely. As written the correct answer is 12.25 or 12 1/4 or 49/4

to get 0.0625, you'd need parentheses 1/(4+12) not 1/4 + 12
