To add fractions with unlike denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is the least common multiple of 4 and 6, which is 12.
To convert the first fraction into twelfths, we need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3:
3/4 is equivalent to (3*3)/(4*3) = 9/12.
To convert the second fraction into twelfths, we need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2:
5/6 is equivalent to (5*2)/(6*2) = 10/12.
Now we can add the fractions:
9/12 + 10/12 = 19/12.
Since the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an improper fraction. To convert it into a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator:
19 divided by 12 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Therefore, the mixed number is 1 7/12.
