That answer doesn't give your answer in the form of a fraction, which is what you need. When adding fractions such as these (where the denominator or bottom number is different from the fraction you are adding to. First find the lowest common denominator, which is the lowest number that your two denominators can multply into (in this case that number is 12) in the equation 3/4 + 2/3 just multiply the bottom numbers (denominators) to get the LCD (lowest common denominator) of /12 + /12. Then to get the numerators you just need to cross multiply the numerator of each to the denominator of the other such as 3x3+9 and then 4 x 2= 8. So u get (9/12 + 8/12 + 17/12) which is an improper fraction, that is properly expressed as 1 5/12 .
