Hoi!
To add fractions with uncommon denominators, we must first find a common denominator of both fractions. To do this, we find the least common multiple.
The least common multiple of 8 and 12 is 24.

Now, how many times do you have to add the denominator of the first fraction to get to 24?
8 + 8 + 8 = 24
3 times. Put the number 3 for the first numerator.

How many times do you have to do the same for the denominator of the second fraction?
12 + 12 = 24
2 times. Put two for the second numerator.

is your answer. :)
