So first you add 1/3 and 1/4 by getting the same denominator and cross multiplying, so you get 4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12
Then you do 12 - 7 = 5, so this answer is 5/12. I don't believe you can simplify because 5 is a prime number

At the beginning you have 2 fractions. \(\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{3}\)

You need to find a common denominator, so that would be 12. Your new equation would be \(\frac{3}{12} + \frac{4}{12}\)

That equals \(\frac{7}{12}\)
So now you subtract 7 from 12; 12-7=5.
Your answer would be that Springer got \(\frac{5}{12}\) of the bag
