You must be mistaken because my answer is not 44/5 it is 4= 4 whole and then 4/5. Still if you think they are wrong then how can I fix them which ones do I have to reduce?

1. 3 2/5 + 6 1/5 = 9 3/5
This site shows you how to reduce or simplify fractions.

I started at the other end ...
#12 wrong
#11 , 3 9/12 = 3 3/4
#10 correct
#9 , 1 4/8 = 1 1/2
#8 , 4 6/8 = 4 3/4
#7 , 4 1/12 = 1 1/3
#6 , 13 2/24 = 13 1/12
I don't know where you got these questions, but most of them were not in lowest terms to begin with. That is very unconventional.
e.g. #3
2 2/13 + 2 3/6
should have been
2 1/4 + 2 1/2
At this point the result can be obtained mentally.

Type them into WolframAlpha . com with a + sign between the whole number and its fraction.
For example,
3 2/5 + 6 1/5 becomes (3+2/5) + (6+1/5)
3 - 1 8/12 becomes (3) - (1+8/12)
