Answer:


1(5)/(12)

Explanation:


(2)/(3) + (9)/(12) <-- let's change 2/3 into a fraction that has 12 as the denominator


(2)/(3) × 4 <-- multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 4

2 × 4 = 8 <-- new numerator

3 × 4 = 12 <-- new denominator

now we have
(8)/(12) +
(9)/(12)


(8)/(12) +
(9)/(12) =
(17)/(12) <-- let's change it into a mixed number

17 ÷ 12 =
1(5)/(12)
