Answer:
We can write ⁹⁄₁₂ as a sum of smaller fractions with a common denominator.
To find the common denominator, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 12 and the numerator 9, which is 36.
⁹⁄₁₂ = (⁹⁄₁₂) x (3/3) = 27/36
So ⁹⁄₁₂ can be written as the sum of smaller fractions with a common denominator of 36 as:
⁹⁄₁₂ = 27/36 = (18/36) + (9/36) = ½ + ¼
Therefore, ⁹⁄₁₂ can be expressed as the sum of the fractions ½ and ¼.
