Answer:

The answer is 10 1/3

Explanation:

Let's find the sum of 5 5/12 + 4 11/12, this way

1. Convert to improper fractions

5 5/12 = 65/12

4 11/12 = 59/12

65/12+ 59/12

2. Use the same denominator

The denominator is 12, no need to use another one.

3. Sum the numerators

65 + 59 = 124/12

4. Convert to mixed number and simplify

124/12 = 10 4/12 = 10 1/3
