Answer:

115/12, or 9 7/12

Explanation:

Let's start by turning all of these into improper fractions.

2 3/6 becomes 15/6

2 2/3 becomes 8/3

4 5/12 becomes 53/12

Now we need to get a common denominator by turning them all to x/12

15/6 becomes 30/12, because we multiply it by 2/2

8/3 is a bit trickier because we have to multiply it by 4 in order to reach x/12, but it turns out to be 32/12 after multiplying it by 4/4

53/12 is already x/12, so we don't have to simplify this one.

30/12 + 32/12 + 53/12 = 115/12, or 9 7/12
