How do i answer this and how do i find the modal

So firsty up, you need to have equal denominators IN order to do this equation.

 1/3 and 5/12..

3x4=12

So the rule when changing denominators, you multiply 4 intop, so it will become 4/12, and 5/12 + 4/12 = 8/12, and,

8/12 + 1/12= 9/12 and 9/12 simplified is 3/4..

So the answer is 3/4.

Hope this helped.
