When denominators are the same, add the numerators and keep the denominator. Then simplify.
All fractions have the same denominator (12). Add the numerators.
Sum=\(\dfrac{7}{12} + \dfrac{7}{12} + \dfrac{7}{12} = \dfrac{21}{12}\)
Simplify: GCD(21, 12) = 3.
Simplified=\(\dfrac{21 \div 3}{12 \div 3} = \dfrac{7}{4}\)
Convert to a mixed number: 7/4 = 7 divided by 4 = 1 whole and 3/4.
As mixed number=\(1\dfrac{3}{4}\)
Final Answer: 1 3/4
