Add Fractions:  First, let's add up the fractions of the sales goal Stacy achieved in January and February. She fulfilled 5/12 in January and 1/12 in February. So, we add these fractions together: 5/12 + 1/12 = 6/12 Simplify Fraction:  Next, we simplify the fraction 6/12 to its lowest terms. Since 6 and 12 are both divisible by 6, we divide the numerator and the denominator by 6: 6 ÷ 6 = 1 and 12 ÷ 6 = 2, so 6/12 simplifies to 1/2
