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!
