Answer 2

12/12 + 12/12 + 5/12 = 29/12
12/12 = 1 so 12/12 + 12/12 = 1+1 = 2
29-24 = 5

Answer 3

29/ 12 = (24 + 5)/ 12
= 24/12 + 5/12

= 2 & 5/12

12 goes into 29, 2 times (12 * 2 = 24) with 5 remaining (29 - 24 = 5). So 29/12 = 2 5/12.

Answer 5

29/12 = 24/12 + 5/12 = 2+5/12

Voila!

Answer 6

let say that we have 6/2 we know that would be equal to 3 because 2 can go in 6, 3 times....so if we have 7/2 then it would be 3 1/2 because 2 can go into 7 3 times but there is one left over...

so for 29/12 you would know that 12 can go into 29 2 times because 2*12= 24...but 24 is five less than 29 so you get 2 5/29.....

Answer 7

Because 1 = 12/12, so 2 = 24/12. Add 5/12 and you get 29/12.

Answer 8

You can translate the 2 to 24/12. The 5/12 comes from 29-24=5.

Simply think of it as how many 12's you can fit in 29, which would be two, multiplied by 12 equals 24. The remainder goes beside it (5).

Answer 9

12 goes into 29 evenly twice, leaving 5 left over (24+5=29)

The 5 is a remainder over 12. Answer = 2 5/12.

To go the other direction, just multiply the 12 by 2 and add the 5.

Answer 10

If you use a calculator, you can do the following:

29 divided by 12 = 2.4166666...

2nd part... 5/12 = 0.4166666... (this plus 2 whole) = 2.416666

SO... 29/12 = 2.416666 and 2 5/12 = 2.4166666
