Thanks, Nick. I think that the course developer wants the learner to see
it represented that way. I was able to wrap the math in an aria-hidden
span and put the word twelfths in an assistive tech only span after it (aka
on-screen, but clipped to 0px). That seemed to work in NVDA, JAWS, and
VoiceOver.

On the lighter side. I had to check to make sure that I was spelling
twelfths correctly. It's not a word that I write or type often. Almost
never, I'd say.

Thanks again,
Mike
