Answer:

Below

Explanation:

So you need to find a denominator that both will divide 'evenly' into...

12 would work.....4 will divide into it 'evenly' = 3

You do to need to do anything to the '5/12 ' ....

So change 3/4 to 12ths by multiplying by ' 1 ' in the for 3/3

3/4 * 3/3 = (3* 3 ) / ( 3*4 ) = 9 / 12 Done.
