Answer: $\frac{4}{5}$

12) $\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{5}$
Add the numerators: $1 + 1 = 2$. Keep the denominator as 5.
Answer: $\frac{2}{5}$

13) $\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3}$
Add the numerators: $1 + 2 = 3$. The fraction is $\frac{3}{3}$.
$\frac{3}{3}$ equals 1 whole.
Answer: $1$

14) $\frac{2}{12} + \frac{3}{12}$
Add the numerators: $2 + 3 = 5$. Keep the denominator as 12.
Answer: $\frac{5}{12}$

15) $\frac{4}{8} + \frac{1}{8}$
Add the numerators: $4 + 1 = 5$. Keep the denominator as 8.
Answer: $\frac{5}{8}$

16) $\frac{6}{12} + \frac{5}{12}$
Add the numerators: $6 + 5 = 11$. Keep the denominator as 12.
Answer: $\frac{11}{12}$

17) $\frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4}$
Add the numerators: $3 + 3 = 6$. The fraction is $\frac{6}{4}$.
This is an improper fraction. 4 goes into 6 one time with a remainder of 2.
So, it is $1 \frac{2}{4}$. Simplify $\frac{2}{4}$ to $\frac{1}{2}$.
Answer: $1 \frac{1}{2}$

18) $\frac{3}{4} + \frac{2}{4}$
Add the numerators: $3 + 2 = 5$. The fraction is $\frac{5}{4}$.
4 goes into 5 one time with a remainder of 1.
Answer: $1 \frac{1}{4}$

19) $\frac{2}{10} + \frac{9}{10}$
Add the numerators: $2 + 9 = 11$. The fraction is $\frac{11}{10}$.
10 goes into 11 one time with a remainder of 1.
Answer: $1 \frac{1}{10}$

20) $\frac{9}{10} + \frac{4}{10}$
Add the numerators: $9 + 4 = 13$. The fraction is $\frac{13}{10}$.
10 goes into 13 one time with a remainder of 3.
Answer: $1 \frac{3}{10}$
