    I did problems like this when I was about 9 years old 71 years ago, there was no calculators in those days. This problem was ridiculously easy you just need a common denominator and the first one that you see immediately is 480 .. It is not the lowest but it doesn't matter. So, 7/120 becomes 28/480 and 1/48 becomes 10/480. Add them up and you get 38/480 .obviously both 38 and 480 divide by 2 soi t is now 19/240.There is no other number that will divide into both 19 and 240 so the answer is 19/240. I took a lot longer to type this than I did working it out without writing anything.

    James Conner is spot on. If I was ever taught that method of finding a LCD, which I doubt, I have forgotten it. I would have solved that problem by multiplying the original denominators and then simplifying the result until I got the answer. Much more work and much greater scope for error. More importantly, I would have missed learning an important concept/building block. When I understand the concepts at the outset, the talk bores me a little but when I have no knowledge of the concept, the talk is crucial.
