Answer:

9 5/6

Explanation:

6 1/2 + 3 1/3

= (6 + 3) + (1/2 + 1/3)

= 9 + 1 * 3/ 2 * 3 + 1 * 2/ 3*2

= 9 + 3/6 + 2/6

= 9 + 3+2/6

= 9 + 5/6

= 9 5/6

Hey there!

6 1/12 + 3 1/3

= 73/12 + 10/3

= 73/12 + 40/12

= 73 + 40 / 12 + 0

= 113 / 12

= 9 5/12


Therefore, your answer is:

• 113/12

OR
• 9 5/12

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
