Given:
¼x + ⅓ x
Solution:
In order to add two fractions with no common denominator, we must look first for the LCM or the Least Common Multiple. One trick is by multiplying the two numbers if those numbers are not relatively large.
(3)(4) = 12
Next we divide 12 by the denominator then multiply the quotient to its numerator.
¼x =3/12x
⅓x= 4/12x
= 3/12x + 4/12x
= 7/12x
Final answer:
7/12x
