You should explain your question more thoroughly. This appears unrelated to arithmetic progressions.

You asked how 9 years and 4 months is 28%2F3. Starting from the mixed unitted number, you could change all into the number of months.
9 years is 9%2A12=111 months.
4 more months gives 115 months.

You suggest a denominator of 12 from the mixed units and a denominator of 3 is shown on your right-side member number. Four months is %281%2F3%29 of a year. If 9 years were cut into denominations of 3 equal parts, then 9%2A3=27.
One more denomination would be 28 of these denominations. Now, 28%2F3=9%261%2F3.
That must be what you are looking for.
