4 (3)/(4)+1 (2)/(3)

= (19)/(4)+1* (2)/(3)

= (19)/(4)+ (5)/(3)

= (19*3)/(12)+ (5*4)/(12)

= (3*19+4*5)/(12)

= (77)/(12)

=6 (5)/(12)
Hope this helps :)

Hello!

First you have to make the denominators the same

3/4 = 9/12
2/3 = 8/12

Add

4 9/12 + 1 8/12 = 5 17/12

Simplify

6 5/12

The answer is
6 (5)/(12)

Hope this helps!
