To solve \( \frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{3} \), follow these steps:

1. Find the least common denominator (LCD) of 4 and 3, which is 12.
2. Convert each fraction to have the LCD as the denominator:
   - \( \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{12} \) (multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3)
   - \( \frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{12} \) (multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4)
3. Now add the two fractions:
   \[
   \frac{3}{12} + \frac{8}{12} = \frac{11}{12}
   \]
   
So, \( \frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{11}{12} \).
