Convert decimal number $0.23$ to fraction $\frac{23}{100}$.

$$\frac{23}{100}+\frac{5}{9}+\frac{1}{12}$$

Least common multiple of $100$ and $9$ is $900$. Convert $\frac{23}{100}$ and $\frac{5}{9}$ to fractions with denominator $900$.

$$\frac{207}{900}+\frac{500}{900}+\frac{1}{12}$$

Since $\frac{207}{900}$ and $\frac{500}{900}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{207+500}{900}+\frac{1}{12}$$

Add $207$ and $500$ to get $707$.

$$\frac{707}{900}+\frac{1}{12}$$

Least common multiple of $900$ and $12$ is $900$. Convert $\frac{707}{900}$ and $\frac{1}{12}$ to fractions with denominator $900$.

$$\frac{707}{900}+\frac{75}{900}$$

Since $\frac{707}{900}$ and $\frac{75}{900}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{707+75}{900}$$

Add $707$ and $75$ to get $782$.

$$\frac{782}{900}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{782}{900}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{391}{450}$$
