First, you have to find a common denominator (lower number under line) for all of them, which would be 12, as that is divisible to 6, 3 and 4.
1/6 -- 2/12's,    2/3 -- 8/12's, and 1/4 -- 3/12's.  You find this by dividing the 6, the 3, and the 4 into 12, then multiplying that number by the top of the equation.  Example:  1/6:  12 divided by 6 is 2.  2 x 1 = 2.  So your first number is 1/6 equals 2/12.
Then add them all up:  2/12 + 8/12  + 3/12 =  13/12.  Divide 12 into 13 and you get 1 1/12.
So your answer is:  1  1/12!
 
Hope that helped!

We must first find the lowest common denominator. This is 12.
So it would translate to :
 
2/12  8/12  3/12
 
Then you have to add.
 
15/12 as a improper fraction.
1 1/4 as a mixed fraction.
