Solve the Fraction Equation: Find the Missing Addend in 5/12 + ? = 7/12

Complete the missing fraction

$\frac{5}{12}+_—=\frac{7}{12}$

What is the missing fraction?

To solve this problem, let's proceed as follows:

• Step 1: Identify the numerators of the given fractions. We have $\frac{5}{12}$ and $\frac{7}{12}$.
• Step 2: Since both fractions have the same denominator, subtract the numerator of the given fraction from the resulting fraction's numerator:

$7 - 5 = 2$

Step 3: The missing fraction is $\frac{2}{12}$, as the denominator remains the same.

Therefore, the missing fraction is $\frac{2}{12}$.
