25/12 = 2 and 1/12
It can't be one. Mixed numbers are greater than 1.

1 and 12/6, 2 and 2/2.
25/12 = 2 with remainder 1. So 25/12 = 21/12.
One easy way is to write them all as fractions with the same denominator. They will no longer be mixed numbers, but each will be the equivalent. For example 1 1/2 1 2/3 and 1 and 3/4 So first, let's rewrite them not as mixed numbers 3/2, 5/3 7/4 Now a common denominator is 12 So we rewrite them with 12 as the denominator 18/12, 20/12 and 21/12. Now ordering them is straightforward. The larger the numerator, the bigger the number.
15⁄12 = 5⁄4 or 1 1⁄4
mixed numbers
4 5/6, 5 1/12, 5 9/10 etc. we could make an infinite amount of mixed numbers for this
6/3 is equivalent to: 2/1, 12/6, 18/9, 24/12,...
8 over 12 is a fraction whose absolute value is less than 1. It is not a mixed number. However, if you had to write it as a mixed number, I suggest 0 8/12 and you can simplify that if you so wish.
1 1/4 + 2 5/6 = 4 1/12 You need to convert the fractions to a common denominator so that they can be added. As you have mixed numbers, you can either add the whole numbers, then add the fractions and correct the answer if the result of adding the fractions is an improper fraction; or convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions, add them, and convert the final improper fraction back to a mixed number. I personally prefer the second method: 1 1/4 = 5/4 2 5/6 = 17/6 LCM of 4 and 6 is 12, so convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with denominator 12: 5/4 = 15/12 17/6 = 34/12 Can now add, and convert back to a mixed number: 15/12 + 34/12 = 49/12 = 4 1/12
