A) \(\frac{1}{12}\)

B) \(\frac{5}{24}\)

C) \(\frac{2}{3}\)

D) \(\frac{3}{4}\)

E) \(\frac{10}{3}\)

Here's an approach that uses approximation

Given: (1/2 + 1/3)/(1/4)

1/2 + 1/3 = a little less than 1 so we can write: (a little less than 1)/(1/4)

We know that 1/(1/4) = 4

So, (a little less than 1)/(1/4) = a little less than 4

Since only one answer choice (E) is greater than 1, it is the ONLY answer choice that's reasonably close to a little less than 4

We can multiply the given expression by 12/12 and we have:

(6 + 4)/3 = 10/3

Answer: E

= \(\frac{\frac{5}{6}}{\frac{1}{4}}\)

\(= \frac{5}{6} *\frac{4}{1}\)

\(= \frac{10}{3}\), Answer is (E)
