The correct answer is E.
There are four fractions with the same difference. First, we need to find the missing fractions.
The difference of \(\frac{1}{7}\) and \(\frac{1}{6}\) is:
\(\frac{1}{6} – \frac{1}{7}/7 = \frac{7-6}{42} = \frac{1}{42}\)
The difference of \(\frac{1}{7}\) and the first fraction is:
\(\frac{1}{42} ÷3 = \frac{1}{126}\)
The first missing fraction is:
\(\frac{1}{7} + \frac{1}{126}= \frac{18+1}{126} = \frac{19}{126}\)
The second missing fraction is:
\(\frac{19}{126} + \frac{1}{126}= \frac{20}{126}\)
The sum of all fractions equals:
\(\frac{1}{7} + \frac{19}{126}+ \frac{20}{126} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{18}{126}+ \frac{19}{126} + \frac{20}{126} + \frac{21}{126} = \frac{78}{126} = \frac{13}{21}\)
