Question

What is 2/3 + 1/4
*please help*

Answer 1

First, we need a common denominator. The lowest number with both 3 and 4 (our current denominators) as factors is 12. To make the denominator of each fraction 12, we will use multiplication.

(2/3 * 4/4) + (1/4 * 3/3)
8/12 + 3/12

Now, we can simply add the numerators.

8/12 + 3/12 = 11/12

Answer 2

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

Re-write with a common denominator, in this case 12:


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

`(8)/(12)+(3)/(12)`

Add:

`(8)/(12)+(3)/(12) = (11)/(12)`
