    First turn the whole numbers into mixed fractions:

    1 1/2

    multiply the whole number by the denominator then add it to the numerator which will make 3/2

    doing the same thing on 1 2/3, you get 5/3

    finding the LCM of 5/3, 3/2 and 3/4, you get 12

    multiplying 4/4 to 5/3, you get 20/12

    multiplying 6/6 to 3/2, you get 18/12

    multiplying 3/3 to 3/4, you get 9/12

    now you can add them easily and you get 47/20

    turning that into a whole fraction, you get 2 7/20
