Given:
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 3 and 4:
LCD = LCM(3, 4) = 12
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (12):
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can add the numerators:
1/3
+ 3/4
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 3 and 4:
LCD = LCM(3, 4) = 12
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (12):
1/3
= 4/12
and 3/4
= 9/12
As a result, 1/3
+ 3/4
= 4/12
+ 9/12
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can add the numerators:
4/12
+ 9/12
= 4 + 9/12
= 13/12
13/12
is in Simplest Form since the Greatest Common Factor of 12 and 13 equals 1, GCF(12, 13) = 1Therefore, the Sum of 1/3
and 3/4
is equal to 13/12
in Simplest Form: 1/3
+ 3/4
= 13/12
Note: 13/12
is an improper fraction, and as a mixed number, 13/12
= 11/12
