Answer: 13/12

Explanation:

Reduce the fraction 3/9 to the lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

The least common multiple of 4 and 3 is 12. Convert 3/4 and 1/3 to fractions with denominator 12.

Since 9/12 and 4/12 have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

Add 9 and 4 to get 13.
