Nope. It’s 10/12 or 5/6

To solve it, make both fractions have the same denominator (the bottom number). 7/12 can stay the same and we can multiply 1/4 by three to make it a fraction with the denominator as 12. It equals 3/12. Now add 7/12+3/12=10/12. We can simply it to 5/6 by dividing 10 and 12 by 2.
