Answer:

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(1/3×4/4)+(1/4×3/3)=?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

4/12+3/12=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.

Then:

4+3

12= 7/12

This fraction cannot be reduced.

Therefore:

1/3+1/4=7/12
