14+16\dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{1}{6}
14+16\dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{1}{6}
Since these fractions have different denominators, we need to find the least common multiple of the denominators
The least common multiple of 4 and 6 is 12, so we need to multiply to make each of the denominators = 12
1433=312\dfrac{1}{4} * \dfrac{3}{3} = \dfrac{3}{12}
1622=212\dfrac{1}{6} * \dfrac{2}{2} = \dfrac{2}{12}
Since these fractions have the same denominator, we can just add the numerators
312+212=512\dfrac{3}{12} + \dfrac{2}{12} = \dfrac{5}{12}
