Answer:

5/12

Explanation:

to give the fractions the same denominator, find their gcm

3 * 4 = 12

therefore multiply 1/3 by 4/4 to get 4/12

multiply 1/4 by 3/3 to get 3/12

3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12

to find the remainder subtract

12/12 - 7/12 = 5/12

your answer is 5/12

hope this helps:)

Answer:

5/12 (corrected)

Convert with lowest common denominator, 12(find by multiplying)

1/3 = 4/12

1/4 = 3/12

Add the fraction's numerators

4 + 3 = 7

Subtract by 1 whole

7/12 - 12/12 = 5/12

Thus, your answer is 5/12
