Answer:

1/4 + 2/6 = 7/12

Explanation:

1/4 + 2/6 = ?

First, we need to find the lcm of 4 and 6. What is lcm? it's the lowest common multiple, meaning the lowest number that if you divide the lcm by the numbers separately, the results would be whole numbers. In this case, the lcm is 12.

Since 4 x 3 is 12, we will multiply 1 by 3.

Since 6 x 2 is 12, we will multiply 2 by 2.

3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12

The answer is 7/12.

Answer:

14/24 or 7/12

Explanation:

Find the common denominator . In this case it is 24. Now, you multiply 1 by 6 and 2 by 4. you get 6/24 and 8/24. Add them together and you get 14/24. 14/24 simplified is 7/12. Hope this helps!
