Answer:

10 5/12

When the numerator is larger than the denominator, we take groups of whole fractions (The numerator and denominator are equal) and add 1 to the whole number for each group. Whatever remains when we no longer have the numerator larger than the denominator is left as a fraction.

Explanation:

6 3/4 + 3 2/3

We need to get a common denominator

The common denominator is 12

We need to rename the fractional parts to out of 12

6 3/4 = 6 3/4*3/3 = 6 9/12

3 2/3 = 3 2/3*4/4 = 3 8/12

6 9/12+ 3 8/12

9 17/12

But the numerator is larger than the denominator

We take 12/12 from the fraction and add it to the whole number

9 17/12-12/12 +1

9+1 5/12

10 5/12
