$\frac{11}{8}$ $11/8$

$\frac{1}{8} + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{7}{12}$ $1/8+2/3+7/12$

= $\frac{3}{24} + \frac{16}{24} + \frac{14}{24}$ $3/24+16/24+14/24$

Add the fractions together. This is possible because your denominator is the same for each fraction

= $\frac{33}{24}$ $33/24$

= $\frac{11}{8}$ $11/8$
