How would 1 1/3 be the answer of 12/9? Show work please.

Kinda a whack question but I'll try.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 1/3 is a mixed number, to turn a mixed number into an improper fraction you need to first multiply the denominator to the whole number (3x1) and that's 3

next you add that number (3) to the numerator (1) so 3+1 and the denominator stays the same as it was (3)

and you are left with 4/3, multiply that by 3/3 (3) and you are left with 12/9

1 1/3 =12/9

The wording on your question is a little rough, but I think I got you an answer.

Did you try simplifying as a decimal then turning it back to a fraction?
