Question 887539: Please help me solve this problem. The problem is in fractions for each set between the plus sign.I need to simplify the expression and write the answer in lowest terms and leave it in factored form. (just so there is no confusion it is 1 over 2a+1 over 3a+1 over 4a)
1+1+1
2a+3a+4a

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1+1+1
2a+3a+4a
------------------
(1/2a) + (1/3a) + (1/4a)
--------
least common denominator is 12a
---------
[6 + 4 + 3]/(12a)
---------
= (13/12a)
------------------
