$$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{6}$$

$\frac{5}{12}\approx 0.416666667$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $6$ is $12$. Convert $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{6}$ to fractions with denominator $12$.

$$\frac{3}{12}+\frac{2}{12}$$

Since $\frac{3}{12}$ and $\frac{2}{12}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{3+2}{12}$$

Add $3$ and $2$ to get $5$.

$$\frac{5}{12}$$

$\frac{5}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 0.4166666666666667$
