Answer:

1 1/12

Explanation:

To add fractions, we want to ensure that the denominators are the same.

To find the common denominator, we take lcm(6, 4, 3), which is 12.

Then we write all the fractions with a denominator of 12.

1/6 = 2/12, 1/4 = 3/12, 2/3 = 8/12, so we have

2/12 + 3/12 + 8/12 = 13/12, which we see is an improper fraction.

13/12 is 1 1/12 as a mixed number.
