Answer:

D. 1 11/12

Explanation:

Let's set up our common denominator first. To do this we need to find a number divisible by 2, 3, and 4.

Multiply 3 by 4 and you'll come out with 12. 12 is divisible by 2.

Now, multiply your fractions by the numbers they need to get the denominator to 12.

1/2 x 6/6 = 6/12

2/3 x 4/4 = 8/12

3/4 x 3/3 = 9/12

Add your numerators.

6 + 8 + 9 = 23.

Your fraction should look like 23/12.

Subtract 12 from 23 and you should get 11. Because 12 equals a whole, we can go ahead and put one.

1 and 11/12.
