can someone please help me and explain how to do it?

Question

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

Answer 1

You need to find the lowest common denominator, then add the numerators together. This is the sum of them all, now you must reduce the fraction.

in this case the lowest common denominator is 12.. why? because you can multiply each of them by a number to create 12.

so 1/6 * 2 = 2/12, 2/3 * 4 = 8/12, and 1/4 * 3 = 3/12
2/12+8/12+3/12 = 13/12
the answer is 1 1/12

Answer 2

First find a common denominator:

Let's see: 6 goes into 12, 3 goes into 12 and 4 goes into 12

Multiply each by a number that will make the denominator 12

1/6 x 2/2= 2/12
2/3 x 4/4= 8/12
1/4 x 3/3= 3/12

so: 2/12+ 8/12 + 3/12 = 13/12

Answer 3

Find the greatest common factor. 6 3 and 4 all go into 12. 6 times 2 is twelve so you have to times the numerator, one, by 2 as well. 2/12. 3 times 4 is 12 so you have to times the 2 by 4. 8/12. And 4 times 3 is twelve so 1 times 3 is 3. 3/12. then add them all. 2/12 + 8/12 + 3/12 = 13/12 or 1 1/12.

Answer 4

Common Denominator would be 12 b/c 3 times 4 is 12.
1/6 would become 2/12 when u multiply by 2/2 to get twelve in the denominator.
2/3 would become 8/12 when u multiply by 4/4 to get twelve in the denomintator.
1/4 would become 3/12 when u multiply by 3/3 to get twelve in the denominator.
so 2/12+8/12+3/12 would be 13/12.
when adding fractions find a common denominator, and then add the numerators and keep the denominator.

Answer 5

6 3 and 4 all go into 12.

1/6 = 2/12
2/3= 8/12
1/4= 3/12

2+8+3= 13 /12 or 1 and 1/12

Answer 6

1/6=2/12
2/3=8/12
1/4=3/12

2/12+8/12+3/12=13/12(=1 and 1/12)

Answer 7

the lowest denominator is 12. so it would be 2/12,8/12,3/12=13/12=1 1/12

Answer 8

i would do it by turning them into fractions then adding them together

1/6=.167
2/3=.667
1/4=.25
this equals 1.084
