convert it all to a similar denominator
the lowest common denominator would be 72 in this case
1/18=4/72
1/24=3/72
1/36=2/72
add every thing and u get 9/72
simplest form would be
9/72=1/8

All of the numbers -- 18, 24, and 36 -- can be divided into 72. So convert all the fractions into a fraction with a /72.
18x4= 72, so that would be 4/72
24x3=72, so that would be 3/72
36X2=72, so that would be 2/72
Add 4, 3, 2 and you get 9.
Your answer, therefore, is 9/72

1/18 = 4/72; 1/24=3/72; 1/36=2/72
1/18+1/24+1/36 = 4/72+3/72+2/72 = 9/72 = 1/8 = 0,125

Try converting the denominator to 72.
4/72 + 3/72 + 2/72

YOU CAN DO THIS. IT'S IN THE BOOK HOW TO FIGURE IT OUT. IT'S NOT THAT HARD. I ALREADY DID MY HOMEWORK WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL.
