Explanation:

Step1: Find common denominator

The common - denominator of 4 and 3 is 12.

Step2: Rewrite fractions

Rewrite $\frac{3}{4}$ as $\frac{3\times3}{4\times3}=\frac{9}{12}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$ as $\frac{2\times4}{3\times4}=\frac{8}{12}$.

Step3: Add fractions

$\frac{9}{12}+\frac{8}{12}=\frac{9 + 8}{12}=\frac{17}{12}$.

Answer:

$\frac{17}{12}$
