Answer:
[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply numerator and denominator of [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] by 3
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3(1)}{3(4)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{12}[/tex]
the 2 fractions now have a common denominator of 12 and can be added
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{12}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
