3 5/8 + 5/12 is 4 1/24.
You change five sixths into ten twelfths and three quarters into nine twelfths. Then you subtract the nine twelfths from the ten twelfths, which equals one twelfth.
three eighths over five twelfths is three eights divided by five twelfths which is: 3/8 ÷ 5/12 = 3/8 x 12/5 = 9/10

Yes
1 and 10/12
