Solution

To solve this problem, we need to add the two amounts of coffee sold together.

First, let's convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:

7 11/12 = (712 + 11)/12 = 95/12 4 2/3 = (43 + 2)/3 = 14/3

Now, let's find a common denominator for these two fractions. The least common multiple of 12 and 3 is 12, so we'll use that as our common denominator.

The first fraction, 95/12, already has 12 as its denominator, so we don't need to change it.

For the second fraction, we need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 4 to get our equivalent fraction with a denominator of 12:

14/3 = (144)/(34) = 56/12

Now we can add the two fractions together:

95/12 + 56/12 = 151/12

This is an improper fraction, so let's convert it back to a mixed number.

12 goes into 151 12 times with a remainder of 7, so our final answer is 12 7/12.

So, Just Sip Awhile Cafe sold 12 7/12 carafes of coffee in total.
