Divide the sum of

Question:

Divide the sum of $\frac{65}{12}$ and $\frac{12}{7}$ by their difference.

Solution:

$\left(\frac{65}{12}+\frac{12}{7}\right) \div\left(\frac{65}{12}-\frac{12}{7}\right)$

$=\frac{65 \times 7+12 \times 12}{84} \div \frac{65 \times 7-12 \times 12}{84}$

$=\frac{455+144}{84} \div \frac{455-144}{84}$

$=\frac{599}{84} \div \frac{311}{84}$

$=\frac{599}{84} \times \frac{84}{311}$

$=\frac{599}{311}$
