Answer 1

Answer: To start this problem, what we need to do is try to simplify the fraction into one we might know already. The best way to go about doing this is to see if we can divide the top and bottom by any of the same numbers.

We can divide 9 by 1, 3, and 9
We can divide 12 by 1, 3, 4, and 12

Looking back over the numbers, we can see that both 9 and 12 are divisible by 3, so if we divide both of them by 3, we will get a new fraction! This fraction will be 3/4.

Our next step is to see if we know what 3/4 is. I know 1/4 is .25 because the coin called a quarter is 25 cents, so if I had 3 quarters, I would have 75 cents, so I know know that 9/12 = 3/4 = .75!

So basically, all you need to do is add the two fractions: 1/2 & 1/3.

If you do not not know how to add fractions, all you need to do is find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 6. Now, the question becomes:

3/6 + 2/6 =
5/6

I'm sorry if I did not clarify this well,
Hope this helps and correct me if I am wrong!
