Answer

Finally, add the two fractions together. \(\frac{9}{12} + \frac{10}{12} = \frac{19}{12}\).

Steps

Step 1 :First, find a common denominator for the two fractions. The least common multiple of 4 and 6 is 12, so the common denominator is 12.

Step 2 :Next, rewrite each fraction with the common denominator. \(\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{9}{12}\) and \(\frac{5}{6} = \frac{5 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \frac{10}{12}\).

Step 3 :Finally, add the two fractions together. \(\frac{9}{12} + \frac{10}{12} = \frac{19}{12}\).
