To add fractions, we need a common denominator. The common denominator for ¼ and ⅔ is 12.
To convert ¼ to twelfths, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 3:
¼ * 3/3 = 3/12.
To convert ⅔ to twelfths, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2:
⅔ * 4/4 = 8/12.
Now we can add the fractions:
3/12 + 8/12 = 11/12.
Therefore, ¼ + ⅔ = 11/12.
