5 5/12. + 4 11/12 =

I got the answer 10 1/3
But I dont know why is it 10
I got 9 16/12
Then I divided four into the numerator and denometer I got 4/3 then I did 3 divide four which is one so 1/3. But why Is it ten? It’s suppose to be 9 1/3?why is it 10 1/3

9 16/12

You know that 16/12 is more than 1 -- so you have 10 with 4/12 left over. So

10 4/12 = 10 1/3
