Step 1:
Write the expression
[tex]\frac{4}{12}\text{ + }\frac{3}{12}[/tex]Step 2:
Since both have the same denominator, pick one of the denominators and add the numerator.
Therefore
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\text{ }\frac{4\text{ + 3}}{12} \\ Final\text{ answer} \\ =\text{ }\frac{7}{12} \end{gathered}[/tex]
