With unlike denominators find the LCM

LCM = 12

Multiplying numerators and denominators to get the LCM in all fraction denominators

=1×3/4×3 + 5×2/6×2 + 2×4/3×4

Then rewriting the equation with the equivalent fractions

=3/12 + 10/12 + 8/12

With like denominators we can operate on just the numerators

=3+10+8/12

=21/12

Simplifying the answer
