$1/2+2/3+3/4=23/12=1 11/12$

To simplify $1/2+2/3+3/4$ , we can add them if the denominators are common. Now as LCD of the denominators $2$ , $3$ and $4$ is $12$

$1/2+2/3+3/4$

$=(1/2xx1)+(2/3xx1)+(3/4xx1)$

= $(1xx6)/(2xx6)+(2xx4)/(3xx4)+(3xx3)/(4xx3)$

= $6/12+8/12+9/12$

= $(6+8+9)/12$

= $23/12$ or $((12+11)/12)$ or $(12/12+11/12)$ or $1 11/12$
