1/4 plus 1/3 is the same as 3/12 plus 4/12 = 7/12

To add 1/3 and 1/4, we must establish a common denominator. In this case a common denominator is 4 times 3, or 12. Finding a lowest common denominator is often a good idea but 12 already is the lowest common denominator. We convert both numbers (1/3 and 1/4) to have the common denominator by multiplying each by 1 (one) in the form to achieve the same denominator:

  • 1/3 * 4/4 = 4/12
  • 1/4 * 3/3 = 3/12

Now add the number together: 4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12 Since 7/12 can not be reduced, the final answer is 7/12.

How do you figure out how to do the math to one fourth of one third?

To calculate one fourth of one third, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators. the numerators of both fractions are 1, and 1 x 1 = 1. The denominators are 4 and 3, and 4 x 3 = 12. Thus, a fourth of a third is a twelfth.
