Answer:

8/12 and 9/12

Explanation:

The common denominator is the number that is a multiple of the denominators of both fractions.

Here, the two denominators are 3 and 4. Upon inspection, we can find that the common denominator is 3 * 4 = 12.

To change 2/3 into a fraction with denominator 12, we see that we have to multiply the numerator and denominator each by 4:
(2)/(3) *(4)/(4) =(8)/(12)

Similarly to change 3/4 into a fraction with denominator 12, we see that we have to multiply the numerator and denominator each by 3:
(3)/(4) *(3)/(3) =(9)/(12)

Thus, the answer is: 8/12 and 9/12.

Hope this helps!
