Convert 3/4 to +9/12.

Add that to -5/12, you get +4/12, or 1/3, as the answer.

-5/12 + 3/4 = -5/12 + (3/4 x 3/3) = -5/12 + 9/12 = 4/12 = 1/3

Questions of this nature should be posted in the category of "Homework Help". The "teaching" category is for teachers or prospective teachers to ask questions of other teachers about teaching. Thank you.
