Answer:

(13/24)

Explanation:

let’s find a common number that we can get on the denominator

4 can be multiplied to get 48

6 can be multiplied to get 48

and 8 can also be multiplied to get 48

4(12) = 48

so for the equation (1/4) the numerator and denominator will both be multiplied by 12

(1/4)x(12/12) = (12/48)

6(8)= 48

(1/6)x(8/8) = (8/48)

8(6) = 48

(1/8)x(6/6) = (6/48)

now the fractions are

(12/48)+(8/48)+(6/48)

we can add them now because they have the same denominator and we get:

(26/48)

this can be simplified if we divide both the numerator and denominator by 2 and we get

(13/24)
