To add fractions, follow these steps:
Step 1: Make sure the denominators (the bottom numbers) are the same. In this case, our denominators are 12 and 3.
Step 2: Find a common denominator. Since 12 is divisible by both 12 and 3, we can use 12 as our common denominator.
Step 3: Adjust the fractions so they have the same denominator.
For the first fraction, 11/12, we don't need to make any changes since the denominator is already 12.
For the second fraction, -2/3, we need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4 to get a denominator of 12. So, -2/3 becomes -8/12.
Step 4: Add the numerators (the top numbers) together while keeping the denominator the same.
11/12 + (-2/3) = 11/12 + (-8/12) = 3/12.
Therefore, 11/12 + (-2/3) = 3/12.
