Reduce the fraction $\frac{8}{12}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $4$.

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

Least common multiple of $2$ and $3$ is $6$. Convert $\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$ to fractions with denominator $6$.

$$\frac{9}{6}+\frac{4}{6}$$

Since $\frac{9}{6}$ and $\frac{4}{6}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{9+4}{6}$$

Add $9$ and $4$ to get $13$.

$$\frac{13}{6}$$

$\frac{13}{2 \cdot 3} = 2\frac{1}{6} = 2.1666666666666665$
