Couple of ways to approach this.....lets add all LIKE terms FIRST  (or use the fraction calculator referenced elsewhere on this forum----easiest!)

(3/6 + 6/6 + 2/6)  + (5/5 +3/5 + 4/5 + 3/5) + 4/4 + 4/7 + 12/12 + 4/11

11/6    +                     15/5                          +4/4 + 4/7 + 12/12 + 4/11

 11/6      +  3  + 1 + 4/7 + 1 + 4/11

 

Now we need to find a common DENOMINATOR  ....the Least Common Multiple is usually the easiest.

The LCM is 462

Convert

 

847/462  +  5   +  264/462    +  168/462        Simplify

1279/462 + 5

2 355/462 + 5   =   7  355/462      IF I did all of the math correctly!
