If I add $\"1%2F12\"$ to $\"11%2F12\"$ I get $\"12%2F12+=+1\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "so I need a fraction less than $\"1%2F12\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "One-half of $\"1%2F12\"$ is $\"1%2F24\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"11%2F12+%2B+1%2F24+=+22%2F24+%2B+1%2F24\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"22%2F24+%2B+1%2F24+=+23%2F24\"$
\n" ); document.write( "23/24 is a number between 11/12 and 1
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"11%2F12+=+.9167\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"23%2F24+=+.9583\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "
