Answer:
8/12 or 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 and 5/12 do not have a common denominator, so we first take LCM of the denominators.
LCM = 12
Therefore, we make 1/4 with denominator 12,
i.e, 1x3/4x3 = 3/12
Now, we can add the two fractions which have a common denominator.
3+5/12 = 8/12 which can be simplified to 2/3 (after cutting numerator and denominator with 4.)
Have a good day ahead!
