Best Answer

Depends whether the bottom numbers of each fraction are the same, or different, e.g

1/4 1/3 1/6 1/12

add those together by timesing 1/4 by three equaling 3/12, so it is equal to the fourth fraction, and then times 1/3 by 4 to make 4/12, equaling the other two, and then time 1/6 by two to make 2/12, the just add them together! (equaling 10/12, which you can then cancel down by dividing by...lets say two? to make 5/6)
