Fractions Add Unlike Denominators

What is the the next step to finding this answer?

• Add the numerators (1+1=2)

• Multiply 12 X 1 for both fractions to find a new numerator
  

• Multiply to find each new numerator by the multiple used to get 12. (3 X1) (4 X 1)

• This is a mistake, you don't need to convert to twelfths
