$\boldsymbol{\sf{(4)/(6)+(1)/(4) }}$

We reduce the fraction 4/6 to its lowest expression by extracting and canceling 2.

$\boldsymbol{\sf{(4)/(6)=(4/2)/(6/2)=(2)/(3) }}$

$\boldsymbol{\sf{(2)/(3)+(1)/(4) }}$

Convert 2/3 and 1/4 to fractions with like denominators.

$\boldsymbol{\sf{(2*4)/(3*4)+(1*3)/(4*3) \iff \ (8)/(12)+(3)/(12) }}$

Since 8/12 and 3/12 have the same numerator, we join numerators and add.

$\boldsymbol{\sf{(8+3)/(12)= }}\boxed{\boldsymbol{\sf{(11)/(12) }}}$
