Question

How many 1/12s must you add to get 1/12

Answer 1

Explanation:

One 1/12 is equal to 1/12, so you do not need to add any other fractions of 1/12 to get 1/12.

1/12 + 0 = 1/12

You can think of it in another way, if you want to add a certain number of fractions to obtain 1, you just need to add 12 of 1/12s to get 1, not one.
