To add fractions, you need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12.
The first fraction is already out of 12, so you can write it as 8/12.
The second fraction is 4/12.
Now you can add them:
8/12 + 4/12 = (8 + 4) / 12 = 12/12
The sum of 8/12 and 4/12 is 12/12.
8/12 + 4/12
