2 2/3 + 7 3/4=

rename or simplify as needed, I need to show how I got this answer

HELP PLEASE

2 2/3 + 7 3/4=

2 8/12 + 7 9/12 = 9 17/12 = 10 5/12

how did you get 10 5/12? That is where I don't understand it

12/12 = 1

12 + 5 = 17

9 17/12 is more than 9.

17 / 12 = 1 5/12

isn't it 10 5/12?

Yes. The answer is 10 5/12

OK Thank you again Ms. Sue :)

You're welcome, Jared.
