$$(-\frac{1}{3})+(\frac{1}{4})$$

$-\frac{1}{12}\approx -0.083333333$

Least common multiple of $3$ and $4$ is $12$. Convert $-\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ to fractions with denominator $12$.

$$-\frac{4}{12}+\frac{3}{12}$$

Since $-\frac{4}{12}$ and $\frac{3}{12}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-4+3}{12}$$

Add $-4$ and $3$ to get $-1$.

$$-\frac{1}{12}$$

$-\frac{1}{12} = -0.08333333333333333$
