Answer:

7/12

Explanation:

Finding the LCD on each would give you 12. Then multiplying what you multiplied on the denominator, you would get 1/12 + 6/12. Which would give you 7/12.

Hope this helped!

Have a good day!

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

1/12 and 1/2 don't have common denominators. Change the 2 to 12 by multiplying by 6.

Then multiply 1 by 6, then 6+1 equals 7

7/12
