Problem 1:


$$
\frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{6}
$$

#### Step 1: Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators are 4 and 6. The LCD of 4 and 6 is 12.

#### Step 2: Rewrite each fraction with the LCD
- For $\frac{3}{4}$: Multiply numerator and denominator by 3:
$$
\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{9}{12}
$$
- For $\frac{5}{6}$: Multiply numerator and denominator by 2:
$$
\frac{5}{6} = \frac{5 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \frac{10}{12}
$$

#### Step 3: Add the fractions
$$
\frac{9}{12} + \frac{10}{12} = \frac{9 + 10}{12} = \frac{19}{12}
$$

#### Final Answer:
$$
\boxed{\frac{19}{12}}
$$

Problem 2:


$$
\frac{3}{4} - \frac{5}{6}
$$

#### Step 1: Use the same LCD (12) as in Problem 1
- For $\frac{3}{4}$: $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{12}$
- For $\frac{5}{6}$: $\frac{5}{6} = \frac{10}{12}$

#### Step 2: Subtract the fractions
$$
\frac{9}{12} - \frac{10}{12} = \frac{9 - 10}{12} = \frac{-1}{12}
$$

#### Final Answer:
$$
\boxed{\frac{-1}{12}}
$$

$$

#### Step 2: Simplify the fraction
The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 15 and 24 is 3:
$$
\frac{15}{24} = \frac{15 \div 3}{24 \div 3} = \frac{5}{8}
