To add the fractions \( \frac{2}{6} \) and \( \frac{3}{12} \), we first find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 6 and 12 is 12.
Next, we can convert \( \frac{2}{6} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 12:
\[ \frac{2}{6} = \frac{2 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \frac{4}{12} \]
Now, we can add the two fractions:
\[ \frac{4}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{4 + 3}{12} = \frac{7}{12} \]
Therefore, the result is:
\[ \frac{7}{12} \]
