+23254 To add common fractions , you need a common denominator; a common denominator of 6 and 4 is 12, because both 6 and 4 divide into 12 without a remainder.
Because 12 ÷ 6 = 2; multiplty 1/6 by 2/2.
Because 12 ÷ 4 = 3; multiply 1/4 by 3/3.
(1/6)x(2/2) = 2/12
(1/4)x(3/3) = 3/12
9 1/6 + 6 1/4 = 9 2/12 + 6 3/12 = 15 5/12
