20POINTS! HELP ME PLZZ I NEED HELP WITH THIS IT IS DUE TOMORROW !!

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominators are 2, 3, and 4.  The least common denominator is the least common multiple (LCM) of these numbers.

To find the LCM, first write the prime factorizations.

2 = 2¹

3 = 3¹

4 = 2²

The LCM is therefore 2² × 3 = 12.

Rewrite the fractions with a denominator of 12.

⁷/₄ + ¹/₂ + ⁵/₃ + ¹/₃ + ¹/₄ + ¹/₂

= ²¹/₁₂ + ⁶/₁₂ + ²⁰/₁₂ + ⁴/₁₂ + ³/₁₂ + ⁶/₁₂

Now that the denominators are the same, we can simply add the numerators.

= ⁽²¹⁺⁶⁺²⁰⁺⁴⁺³⁺⁶⁾/₁₂

= ⁶⁰/₁₂

= 5
