34

Explanation:

Firstly make both denominators the same:
We know that you can multiply 3 by 4 to get 12,
What you do to the bottom number, you must also do to the top number:

1344=412

So now we have:

412+512 which equals 912

We can simplify 912 as both numerator and denominator are divisible by 3:

=34
