To get 11 you'd probably have to forget everything you ever learned about fractions. Seriously, though, 1/3 of 12 is 4, and 3/5 of 7 is 4.2, so when you add them you should get 8.2 (or 41/5, or 8 1/5). 11 is way off.

To find out how many thirds are in -4 and 1 third, first convert -4 into thirds: -4 can be expressed as -12/3 (since -4 × 3 = -12). Now, add 1 third: -12/3 + 1/3 = -11/3. Therefore, there are -11 thirds in -4 and 1 third.
5 and 2 ninths is 23 ninths. 2 and 2 fifths is 12 fifths. multiply the denominator and the numerator and then add the whole number over the denominator.
To find out how many fifths are in two and two-fifths, we first need to convert the whole number, two, into fifths. Since one whole is equal to five fifths, two wholes would be equal to ten fifths. Adding the two-fifths gives us a total of twelve fifths in two and two-fifths.

7/12 minus 2/5 is 11/60.
1/3 / 4/5 = 5/12 Five twelfths
To find out how many fifths are in two and two-fifths, we first need to convert the whole number, two, into fifths. Since one whole is equal to five fifths, two wholes would be equal to ten fifths. Adding the two-fifths gives us a total of twelve fifths in two and two-fifths.
To subtract three fifths from nine elevenths, first find a common denominator, which is 55. Convert nine elevenths to fifty-fifths: (9/11 = 45/55) and three fifths to fifty-fifths: (3/5 = 33/55). Now subtract: (45/55 - 33/55 = 12/55). Therefore, nine elevenths minus three fifths equals (12/55).
