To add these fractions, we first need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 9 and 12 is 36.

Now, let's convert both fractions so that they have a denominator of 36:

For 4/9: Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4: (4/9)x(4/4) = 16/36.

For 11/12: Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3: (11/12)x(3/3) = 33/36.

Now that both fractions have a common denominator of 36, we can add them:

16/36 + 33/36 = (16+33)/36 = 49/36
