  2. first we find the fraction which were 1/2, 1/6, 1/12, 1/20, 1/30 then to find the common denominator which was 60 (2,6,12,20,23 are all factors of 60) then we change the to the new fractions 30/60 ,10/60, 5/60, 3/60, 2/60 the we add them all together which is 50/60 which can be simplified to 5/6.
