In order to find out the sum of them, we need to put them in the same denominator. The smallest multiply of 6,4 and 3 is 12.

12/6=2

12/4=3

12/ 3 =4

Lets multiply the result with the respective numerator..

1/6=2/12

1/ 4 =3/12

1/ 3=4/12

Now that the denominator is the same, we can just add the numerators together.

2/12+3/12+4/12= (2+3+4)/12

=9/12
