7/12
We convert the fractions to twelfths: 1 + 8 twelfths + 9 twelfths. 1 + 17 twelfths 2 and 5 twelfths.
1/3 x 4/4 = 4/12 so no 1 third is 1 twelfth more than 3 twelfths
7 1/3
The sum is 1. 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1
1 third is the same as 4 twelfths, so 6 twelfths plus 4 twelfths is 10 twelfths.
7/12
We convert the fractions to twelfths: 1 + 8 twelfths + 9 twelfths. 1 + 17 twelfths 2 and 5 twelfths.
The sum of 1/3 and 7/12 is 11/12
1/3 x 4/4 = 4/12 so no 1 third is 1 twelfth more than 3 twelfths
7 1/3
There are four twelfths. 4 out of 12 is the same as 1 out of 3. 4/12 = 1/3
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 5/12 + 1/3 = 3/4 or three quarters.
this is the same as 3 holes and 8 twelfths plus 1 hole and 3 twelfths = 4 and 11 twelfths
6 and 1/3
5/12Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 1/3 + 1/12 = 5/12 or five twelfths.
If we convert 1/3 into twelfths, we get 4/12. Now we can clearly see 5/12 is greater.
