$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{12}$
✓
Answer
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{4}+\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{12} \\ & =\frac{1 \times 3}{4 \times 3}+\frac{5 \times 2}{6 \times 2}-\frac{1}{12}(\text { LCM of } 4,6,12=12) \\ & =\frac{3}{12}+\frac{10}{12}-\frac{1}{12}=\frac{3+10-1}{12} \\ & =\frac{13-1}{12}=\frac{12}{2}=1\end{aligned}$
