Answer:

12 7/12

Explanation:

To add these two mixed numbers, you first need to convert them to improper fractions, then perform the addition, and finally simplify the result if necessary.

4 5/6 can be converted to an improper fraction as follows:

4 5/6 = (4 * 6 + 5) / 6 = 29 / 6

7 3/4 can be converted to an improper fraction as follows:

7 3/4 = (7 * 4 + 3) / 4 = 31 / 4

Now, add the two improper fractions:

29 / 6 + 31 / 4

To add fractions with different denominators, you need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 6 and 4 is 12.

Now, convert both fractions to have a denominator of 12:

(29/6) * (2/2) = 58/12

(31/4) * (3/3) = 93/12

Now you can add the fractions:

58/12 + 93/12 = 151/12

This fraction can be simplified:

151 ÷ 12 = 12 with a remainder of 7

So, the final result is:

12 7/12
