Stephen is mowing three lawns: one is 1/4 th of an acre, one is 1/2 of an acre and another is 1 1/3 acres.

Now, let us add.


\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)+(1)/(2)+(4)/(3)=(3+6+16)/(12) \\ =(25)/(12) \\ =2(1)/(12) \end{gathered}

Hence, the correct option is (D)

N.B - Since it is asked to convert the answer into mixed fraction, D is correct and B is not
