Answer:
[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{6} +\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
4 = 2 × 2 × 1
6 = 2 × 3 × 1
3 = 3 × 1
GCF = 1
4 × 6 × 3 = 72
[tex]\frac{18}{72} +\frac{12}{72} +\frac{24}{72}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{18+12+24}{72}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{54}{72}[/tex]
54 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3
72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
GCF = 2 × 3 × 3
GCF = 18
[tex]\frac{\frac{54}{18} }{\frac{72}{18} }=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
