Add. Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. 8 4/12 + 1/12 =

To add the fractions, follow these steps:

1. Convert the Mixed Number: First, convert the mixed number (8 frac{4}{12}) into an improper fraction.

– Multiply the whole number (8) by the denominator (12), which gives (8 times 12 = 96).

– Add the numerator (4) to this product: (96 + 4 = 100).

– So, (8 frac{4}{12} = frac{100}{12}).

2. Add the Fractions: Now, add (frac{100}{12}) and (frac{1}{12}).

[

frac{100}{12} + frac{1}{12} = frac{100 + 1}{12} = frac{101}{12}

]

3. Convert Back to Mixed Number: Convert (frac{101}{12}) back to a mixed number.

– Divide 101 by 12, which gives 8 as the whole number (since (12 times 8 = 96)).

– The remainder is (101 – 96 = 5). So, it can be written as:

[

8 frac{5}{12}

]

4. Final Answer: Therefore, (8 frac{4}{12} + frac{
