What is 3/4 + 1/3?
Please explain
First find a common denominator= 12
3/4= 9/12 and 1/3= 4/12
then add= 9+4= 13 = 13/12 then change to a mixed #
= 1 1/12 1 is a whole and then 1/12
hope this helps :)

To add fractions with different denominators like 3/4 and 1/3, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator in this case is 12, which is the least common multiple of 4 and 3.
To convert the fractions to have a denominator of 12, we multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the same number.
For 3/4, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3: (3/4) * (3/3) = 9/12.
For 1/3, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4: (1/3) * (4/4) = 4/12.
Now that both fractions have the same denominator of 12, we can add them: 9/12 + 4/12 = (9 + 4) / 12 = 13/12.
So the sum of 3/4 and 1/3 is 13/12.
