When adding a fraction, you must ensure that the denominators of both fractions are the same, and if they are not the same, you must make them the same by multiplying them by an equivalent to 1 (for example, to change 1/2 to have the denominator of 4, you would multiply it by 2/2 (which is a legal math operation because 2/2 is equivalent to 1, and anything multiplied by 1 is itself) meaning that 1/2 multiplied by 2/2 is 2/4, which can be reduced again to 1/2.
