I'd be happy to help you with your request related to 'Chapter 9: Add and Subtract Fractions'.

Based on the provided text, it appears that you are looking for guidance on how to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators. The text provides an example problem:

12 26/24 + 51/24 = ?

The solution is to convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the least common denominator (LCD), which in this case is 24.

To do this, you can multiply both the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 1: 26/24 = (26 × 1)/(24 × 1) = 26/24

Since the second fraction already has a denominator of 24, no conversion is needed for that one.

Now you can add the fractions:

12 + 51/24 = ?

To add the whole numbers and the fractions separately:

12 + 51 = 63

63/24 = 77/24

So, the solution to the problem is:

12 26/24 + 51/24 = 77/24
