$$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{12}$$

$1$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $6$ is $12$. Convert $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{5}{6}$ to fractions with denominator $12$.

$$\frac{3}{12}+\frac{10}{12}-\frac{1}{12}$$

Since $\frac{3}{12}$ and $\frac{10}{12}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{3+10}{12}-\frac{1}{12}$$

Add $3$ and $10$ to get $13$.

$$\frac{13}{12}-\frac{1}{12}$$

Since $\frac{13}{12}$ and $\frac{1}{12}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{13-1}{12}$$

Subtract $1$ from $13$ to get $12$.

$$\frac{12}{12}$$

Divide $12$ by $12$ to get $1$.

$$1$$
