No. First you have to change 1/4 to something/12. What would that fraction be?

You have to make your denominators the same. That means 1/4 has to equal something/12.
1/4 = ?/12
Let's say the problem is this --
1/2 + 1/8 = ?
1/2 is the same as 4/8
Therefore, the "new" problem is --
4/8 + 1/8 = ?
4/8 + 1/8 = 5/8
1/4 + 1/12 = ?
1/4 is the same as ?/12.

wait hold on
I thought your suppose to
1/4+1/12
find the common denominator for the bottoms.
LCD
4:4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32
12:24,36,48,60,72,84,96
well no common ones in there tried the lcd
now if a person found a common denominator
they would
1x12=12
_
4x12=48
1x4=4
_
12x4=48
has to be 16/48?

1/4 + ?/12
Look at the denominators. Now, look at the larger one. Do you see any relation between 4 and 12?

I was thinking maybe a more visual way would be better... =/
Okay, let's take side examples then.
You have to multiply the 2 by 50 to get 100. So, multiply the 1 by 50 too, to get:
Another one.
Multiply by 8/8;
Now, do the same with your fraction and post what you get with
