1 7/12

Work below. :)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

First, find a common denominator. You can do so by listing the denominators' factors and finding a common number. (For the sake of space I'll skip).

1/2 = 6/12

3/4 = 9/12

1/3 = 4/12

Now, simply add the top numbers (aka numerator) but keep the denominator the same.

6 + 9 + 4 = 19

19/12 is an improper fraction, so make it proper.

1 7/12

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Good luck!
