\[ \frac{9}{12} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{9}{12}\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{9}{12} + \frac{1}{2} &= \frac{9 \cdot 1}{12 \cdot 1} + \frac{1 \cdot 6}{2 \cdot 6} \\ &= \frac{9 + 6}{12} \\ &= \frac{15}{12} \\&= \frac{5}{4} \end{aligned} \]
