To add fractions we take LCD for the denominators 3,4,1.

LCD for 3 and 4 = 12 as its the least common multiple of 3,4,1.

Making denominators =12 by multiplying numerator an denominator with the corresponding numbers

⇒   feet

⇒   feet

Then we simply add numerators.

⇒   feet

⇒   feet

⇒   feet

⇒   feet

Writing fraction as a mixed number by dividing 218 by 12 and writing quotient as whole number and remainder as numerator with divisor as denominator.

⇒ feet

Simplifying fractions to simplest form.

⇒ feet
