1/3+4/12= 8/12

I think it's the right answer. I am just testing my skills.

4/12 = 1/3

1/3 + 1/3 = ?

To find the fraction of pizza that Lisa and Kate ate altogether, we need to add their individual fractions.

First, let's convert the fractions to have the same denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 12 is 12, so we can convert both fractions to twelfths.

Lisa ate 1/3 of the pizza, which is equal to (1/3) * (4/4) = 4/12.

Kate ate 4/12 of the pizza.

Now, we can add the fractions together:

4/12 + 4/12 = 8/12.

Therefore, Lisa and Kate ate a total of 8/12 of the pizza altogether.
