Answer:

Step 1: Match the denominators.

We need to find a number that divides correctly. For example, 4 and 3 both go into 12. Now, we need to divide 12 by 4 and 3. 12 divided by 4 is 3, so we would multiply 3 * 3, which makes 9. Thus, the first fraction is 9/12. Now, the 2nd fraction. We need to divide 12 by 3, which is 4, so we multiply 2 * 4. This means that the 2nd fraction is 8/12.

Step 2: Add

This step is simple, but you don't add the denominator. 9/12 + 8/12 would give you 17/12, or 1 5/12.
