Fractions must share a common denominator in order to be added or subtracted. The common denominator is the least common multiple of all the denominators.
What is \( \frac{2}{4} \) + \( \frac{7}{12} \)?
| 1\(\frac{1}{12}\) | |
| \( \frac{8}{12} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{1}{4} \) | |
| \( \frac{8}{11} \) |
