I think it's 1/6 + 3/4
1/6 + 3/4 =
2/12 + 9/12 = 11/12

1/6=2/12 and 3/4=9/12 so adding it is 11/12

you got the common denominator as 12 by multiplying the bottom by 2 in the first fraction and 3 in the second..have to do the same to the top...therefore 1/6 becomes 2/12 and 3/4 becomes 9/12..not too hard really

After converting to the common denominator the two must be added to get the answer 11/12.

1/6 divided by 3/4
2/12 * 9/12 = 18/144 = .125 or 1/8

1/6 is 2/12...3/4 is 9/12...2/12 / 9/12 is the same as 2/12 x 12/9...24/108...which simplifies to 2/9.

1/6 / 3/4
= 1/6 * 4/3

= 2/9
The answer is 2/9. Trust me. I'm right.
