Jackie has 1/3 of a hershey bar. steven has 4/12 of a hershey bar. how much do they have together?

2/3

Step-by-step explanation: To find how much of the candy bar they each have, we will have to add the fractions. To add unlike fractions such as 1/3 and 4/12, we first need to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 3 and 12 is simply the least common multiple of 3 and 12 which is 12. To get 12 in the denominator of 1/3, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 4 to get 4/12. Notice that our second fraction already has 12 in the denominator so we can now add these fractions.

+ = .

Notice that 8/12 can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4.

8 ÷ 4 = 2

12 ÷ 4 = 3

Therefore, Jackie and Steven have 2/3 of a Hershey bar.
