You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{12}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{12} = \frac{5}{12} = 0.41\overline{6} \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{3}\) and \(\frac{1}{12}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{12} &= \frac{1 \cdot 4}{3 \cdot 4} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{12 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{4 + 1}{12} \\ &= \frac{5}{12} \end{aligned} \]
