Questions: 11 5/12 + 1/12

Solution Steps

To solve the given mixed number addition problem, we need to first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Then, we add the two fractions together and simplify the result if possible.

The mixed number \( 11 \frac{5}{12} \) can be converted to an improper fraction: \[ 11 \frac{5}{12} = 11 + \frac{5}{12} = \frac{11 \times 12 + 5}{12} = \frac{132 + 5}{12} = \frac{137}{12} \]

Now, add the improper fraction \(\frac{137}{12}\) to \(\frac{1}{12}\): \[ \frac{137}{12} + \frac{1}{12} = \frac{137 + 1}{12} = \frac{138}{12} \]

Simplify the fraction \(\frac{138}{12}\): \[ \frac{138}{12} = \frac{138 \div 6}{12 \div 6} = \frac{23}{2} \]
