Answer:


(11)/(12)

Explanation:


(2)/(3) +(1)/(4)
First, find the lowest common denominator (LCD):

3*4=12
Next, convert the fractions to a base of 12.

(2)/(3) * (4)/(4) = (8)/(12)


(1)/(4) * (3)/(3) = (3)/(12)
Then, add our fractions with the same base (12):


(8)/(12) + (3)/(12) = (11)/(12)

Hey there!


2/3 + 1/4

= 2×4/3×4 + 1×3/4×3

= 8/12 + 3/12

= 8 + 3/12 - 0

= 11/12


Therefore, your answer is: 11/12


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
