Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

This is just a matter of adding 2 fractions and reducing the result

Givens

f1 = 3/12

f2 = 1/12

Equation

Answer = f1 + f2

Solution

answer = 3/12 + 1/12

The denominators are the same. The answer will have the same denominator

Answer = (3 + 1)/12

Answer = 4 / 12

The answer has a common factor in both the top and bottom of the fraction (4 is the common factor).

Therefore divide the top and bottom by 4

Answer = 4/4 // 12/4

Answer = 1 / 3
