Convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction
...
12%2F3 = 3*1=3+2=5, so 5%2F3
21%2F2 = 2*2=4+1=5, so 5%2F2
...
5%2F3+%2B+4+%2B+5%2F2
%285%2F3%29%282%2F2%29+%2B+4%286%2F6%29+%2B+%285%2F2%29%283%2F3%29
...
10%2F6+%2B+24%2F6+%2B+15%2F6+=+49%2F6
...
Revert back to mixed fraction
6 goes into 49 evenly 8 times with 1 left over.
