Answer: 1/2

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD

(2/12*1/1) + (1/3+4/4)

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

2/12+4/12

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.

2+4/12 = 6/12

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor

6/12 รท 6/6 = 1/2

Therefore:

2/12 + 1/3 = 1/2
