To convert the mixed numbers 3 12 and 4 38 into improper fractions, we first transform them: 3 12 becomes 3 + 12/12 = 3 + 1 = 4, so it's 4/1, and 4 38 becomes 4 + 38/38 = 4 + 1 = 5, so it's 5/1. The increase from 3 12 to 4 38 is from 4 to 5, which is an increase of 1. Thus, the increase is 1 whole unit.
1/4 = 3/12 1/3 = 4/12 1/2 = 6/12 2/3 = 8/12 3/4 = 9/12 2/3 = 8/12 Setting it as a common denominator you can now add the top numbers and then simplify your answer. 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 9 + 8 = 38. 38 divided by 12 is your answer. (3 and 1/6th)

It would seem to be 11. ------------------------------------- Here are a couple of ways to justify the answer "11": #1: 2 -> 6 is an increase of 4. 6 -> 3 is a decrease of 3. 3 -> 8 is an increase of 5. 8 -> 6 is a decrease of 2. 6 -> 12 is an increase of 6. 12 -> 11 is a decrease of 1. #2: 2 -> 3 is an (odd) increase of 1. 6 -> 8 is an (even) increase of 2. 3 -> 6 is an (odd) increase of 3. 8 -> 12 is an (even) increase of 4. 6 -> 11 is an (odd) increase of 5.
