Answer 1

It’s 12 1/12.
You basically just multiply 5/6 and 14 1/2 which is 145/12 and that simplified is 12 1/12

Answer 2

5/6 of 14 1/2 is 12.08333333

Explanation:

14 1/2 = 14.5

14 = 14

and 1/2 = 0.5

now, you take 14.5 and divide by the denominator of the fraction that you have, which is 6

14.5 ÷ 6 = 2.416666667

and now you take 2.416666667 and multiply that by 5, because you are trying to find 5/6 of this number

2.416666667 × 5 = 12.08333333

So your answer is 12.08333333
