3 + 2/3 + 5 + 7/12 = 37/4
it is 37 fourths
9 and 1/4
We convert the fractions to twelfths: 1 + 8 twelfths + 9 twelfths. 1 + 17 twelfths 2 and 5 twelfths.
3/4
-3
this is the same as 3 holes and 8 twelfths plus 1 hole and 3 twelfths = 4 and 11 twelfths
2/3 + 2/12 = [ 2x4 + 2 ]/12 = 10/12 = 5/6
10 3/12
8/12 = 2/3
8/12 = 2/3
8/12 = 2/3
There are eight twelfths in two thirds.
