To solve this, you must add 2/3 + 1/4 + 1/4.
First, convert them all to have common denominators.
2/3 x 4/4= 8/12
1/4 x 3/3= 3/12
1/4 x 3/3= 3/12
Now, add them...
8/12 + 3/12 + 3/12 = 14/12 gallons.
Now, since it's an improper fraction, first lets simplify...
14/12 divided by 2/2 = 7/6
Now, convert 7/6 into a mixed number...
7/6= 1 1/6
SO, Lila collected 1 and 1/16 of a gallon in all

The total gallons of honey Lila collected from her 3 beehives is 7/6 gallons of honey

Given;

Beehive 1 = 2/3 gallon of honey

Beehive 2 = 1/4 gallon of honey

Beehive 3 = 1/4 gallon of honey

Total gallons of honey = Beehive 1 + Beehive 2 + Beehive 3

= 2/3 + 1/4 + 1/4

Lowest common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12

= (8+3+3) / 12

= 14/12

= 7/6 gallons of honey

Therefore, total gallons of honey Lila collected from her 3 beehives is 7/6 gallons of honey
