Answer:

[tex]\frac{7}{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{5}{12} + \frac{9}{12} = ?[/tex]

When adding fractions, the denominators must be the same. In this case, they are both 12, so we can just add the numerators.

5 + 9 = 14

We are left with:

[tex]\frac{14}{12}[/tex]

14 and 12 are both even numbers and can be simplified by dividing by 2.

14 ÷ 2 = 7

12 ÷ 2 = 6

[tex]\frac{14}{12}[/tex] simplifies to [tex]\frac{7}{6}[/tex]

This is your answer.

Hope this helps!
