Question

The sum of 1/6, 2/3, and 1/4 is

Answer 1

The sum of 1/6 + 2/3 + 1/4 = 13/12 = 1 ¹/₁₂

Further explanation

In adding a fraction, the denominator should be the same

$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{numerator}{denominator}$

If the denominator is not the same we should convert them to the equivalent fraction with the same denominator. In that case above, the equivalent denominator would be 12. We will then multiply each denominator to convert them into the same denominator

$\frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{4}$

= $(\frac{1*2}{6*2}) + (\frac{2*4}{3*4}) + (\frac{1*3}{4*3})$

= $\frac{2}{12} + \frac{8}{12} + \frac{3}{12}$

= $\frac{13}{12}$

= 1¹/₁₂

in the mixed fraction $\frac{13}{12}$ = 1¹/₁₂

Answer 2

1/6+2/3+1/4 
First find the highest common multiple of the denominators=12
Then multiply each term by the quotient of 12/denominator
So...it becomes 2/12+8/12+3/12
Add all the numerators and keep the denominator constant
It becomes (2+8+3)/12=13/12
                                 =1 1/12
