Answer:

1 29/30

Explanation:

First find the least common denominator of 1/6, 4/5, and 2/3. The least common denominator of that list is: 30.

So let's convert all of these fractions to a denominator of 30.

Here are the newly converted fractions:

5/30, 24/30, 20/30.

So now add all of them together. 5/30+24/30+20/30=(5+24+20)/30, which is equal to: 49/30 = 1 19/30.
