\(\frac{5}{12}\times\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{7}{12}+\frac{1}{3}\)
\(=\frac{2}{3}\times\left(\frac{5}{12}+\frac{7}{12}\right)+\frac{1}{3}\)
\(=\frac{2}{3}\times1+\frac{1}{3}\)
\(=\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{3}\)
\(=1\)
\(\frac{5}{12}\times\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{7}{12}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\times\left(\frac{5}{12}+\frac{7}{12}\right)+\frac{1}{3}\)
\(=\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{12}{12}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\times1+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3}{3}=1\)
5/12 x 2/3 + 2/3 x 7/12 + 1/3
=5/12 x 2/3 + 2/3 x 7/12 + 1/3 x 2
=(5/12 + 7/12 +12/12)x 2/3
=2x2/3
=4/3
