Answer 1

The LCD here is 12.  Th,us, 1/6, 2/3 and 1/4 become:

2/12, 8/12 and 3/12.

Their sum is 13/12, or 1 1/12.

Answer 2

$Solution, \frac{1}{6}+\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{13}{12}\quad \left(\mathrm{Decimal:\quad }\:1.08333\dots \right)$

$Steps:$

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

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}6,\:3,\:4:\quad 12$

$\mathrm{Adjust\:Fractions\:based\:on\:the\:LCM},\\\frac{2}{12}+\frac{8}{12}+\frac{3}{12}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c},\\\frac{2+8+3}{12}$

$\mathrm{Add\:the\:numbers:}\:2+8+3=13,\\\frac{13}{12}$

$The\:Correct\:Answer\:Is\:\frac{13}{12}$

$Hope\:This\:Helps!!!$
