Question

How do you simplify `1/3+1/4`?

Answer 1

`7/12`

Explanation:

To add two fractions you must first have them represented with common denominators. In this case the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) is `12`.

Therefore we must multiply each fraction by the necessary form of `1` to ensure the denominator is `12`:

`(4/4 * 1/3) + (3/3 * 1/4) => 4/12 + 3/12`

We can now add the fractions:

`4/12 + 3/12 => (4 + 3)/12 => 7/12`
