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 \( \frac{3}{8} \) + \( \frac{9}{12} \)?
| \( \frac{7}{11} \) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{8}\) | |
| 2 \( \frac{8}{17} \) | |
| \( \frac{3}{24} \) |
