Given the expression 6(1/2+2/3+3/4)​

Let us use the distributive law to expand the expression as shown:

= 6(1/2)+6(2/3)+6(3/4)

= 6/2 + 12/3 + 18/4

= 3 + 4 + 18/4

= 7 + 18/4

Find the LCM

= 7(4)+18/4

= (28+18)/4

= 46/4

= 11 2/4

= 11 1/2

Hence the value of the fraction computation is 11 1/2
