Answer:

7/12

Explanation:

We cannot add fractions without the same denominator. 4 does not equal 6

ok

2/6 is the same as 4/12 because we multiply proportionately

we multiply the numerator and denominator by the same factor

2/6 x 2/2 = 4/12

now 1/4 is the same as 3/12 because we multiply by 3x3

(realize something we are not changing the value of the fraction. 2/2 is the same as 1 and 3/3 is also the same as 1)

now they have the same denominator

4/12 + 3/12+ = 7/12
