I checked your first five answers and they are all wrong. For many of them you have not reduced them to lowest terms.

Answered by Pratigya
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?
Answered by Ms. Sue
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.

Ok i was wrong on the first one but the rest? I am pretty sure they are right.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Please study the site I posted. Then reduce numbers 2 through 5.

Reiny helped you on the others.

Answered by Ms. Sue
1 and 2 and 3 are correct. The other two are wrong.

Answered by Schnitzel
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)
