1. $7\frac{1}{2} + 1\frac{7}{8} = 8\frac{11}{8} = 9\frac{3}{8}$
2. $9\frac{1}{6} - 4\frac{1}{2} = 9\frac{1}{6} - 4\frac{3}{6} = 4\frac{4}{6} = 4\frac{2}{3}$
3. $6\frac{1}{3} + 2\frac{5}{6} = 6\frac{2}{6} + 2\frac{5}{6} = 8\frac{7}{6} = 9\frac{1}{6}$
4. $4\frac{4}{5} - 3\frac{1}{6} = 4\frac{24}{30} - 3\frac{5}{30} = 1\frac{19}{30}$
5. $2\frac{1}{2} + 3\frac{1}{4} = 2\frac{2}{4} + 3\frac{1}{4} = 5\frac{3}{4}$
6. $4\frac{4}{7} - 2\frac{2}{5} = 4\frac{20}{35} - 2\frac{14}{35} = 2\frac{6}{35}$
7. $3\frac{7}{12} + 2\frac{1}{8} = 3\frac{14}{24} + 2\frac{3}{24} = 5\frac{17}{24}$
8. $5\frac{1}{5} - 3\frac{5}{7} = 5\frac{7}{35} - 3\frac{25}{35} = 1\frac{17}{35}$
9. $4\frac{2}{5} + 3\frac{5}{6} = 4\frac{12}{30} + 3\frac{25}{30} = 7\frac{37}{30} = 8\frac{7}{30}$
10. $3\frac{1}{10} - 1\frac{6}{8} = 3\frac{4}{40} - 1\frac{30}{40} = 1\frac{14}{40} = 1\frac{7}{20}$
11. $6\frac{7}{8} + 9\frac{3}{9} = 6\frac{7}{8} + 9\frac{1}{3} = 6\frac{21}{24} + 9\frac{8}{24} = 15\frac{29}{24} = 16\frac{5}{24}$
12. $7\frac{1}{2} - 4\frac{7}{8} = 7\frac{4}{8} - 4\frac{7}{8} = 2\frac{5}{8}$
