Answer 2

Answer:

The sum of $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$ will be $\frac{11}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In context to the question asked,

We have to find the sum of $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$

As per data given in the question,

We have,

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{3}$

To find the sum of given fractions, we must first equalize their denominators by taking the LCM if they are not equal.

Now, the LCM of $4$ and $3$ is $12$.

Converting fractions with denominator $12$, we get

$=> \frac{3}{12}+\frac{8}{12}$

Now, we have the same denominator:

Add the numerators,

$=> \frac{3+8}{12}$

$=> \frac{11}{12}$

Hence, the required solution is $\frac{11}{12}$
