Answer:

11/12

Explanation:

hi! let's start off by finding the LCM to find a common denominator for these fractions. the LCM of 3 and 4 is 12. so, we can look at what we need to multiply each denominator by to get 12.

3*4 is 12 and 4*3 is 12, so we have to multiply the first fraction by 4/4 (which is equivalent to 1) and we have to multiply the second fraction by 3/3.

this becomes 8/12 and 3/12, which are equivalent to their original forms.

now, we can add these by adding the numerators and keeping the denominators the same.

(8+3)/12

11/12

theres your answer!
