Answer:

5 2/3

Explanation:

2 3/12 + 3 5/12

2 + 3 = easy

So the "real" question is what is

3/12 + 5/12

But please consider a pizza, sliced into 12 even parts... One parts is 1/12. The whole pizza has 12/12= 1 pizza.

Think of it like this: You have two pizza boxes. In one pizza box there are 3 pieces left and the other box has 5 pieces. You put all pizza pieces in one box.... it is not a full pizza, anyone can see that...

Combined that is 3 + 5 = 8 pieces out of a total of 12 pizza pieces, which is 8/12.

You can simplify this by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 4, which = 2/3

The final answer is 5 2/3
