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

The answer is one-half. It is twice as much as one-fourth. Consider one as a whole. If you divide it into two parts, you will get one half (1/2), if into three parts, you will get 1/3 (one-third), if into 4 parts, you will get 1/4 (one-fourth).
