1/2 + 1/4 =2/4+1/4 =3/4
1/3 + 1/6 = 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6 ( divide top and bottom by 3 and that gives 1/2 )
1/6 +1/12 = 2/12 +1/12 = 3/12 ( divide top and bottom by 3 and that equates to 1/4)
hope that explains how to do them
add 3/4 +1/2 +1/4 =1 1/2 litres

Start again, Christy. Forget %ages. Stick with fractions.

The recipe calls for 1/2 litre of orange = 3/6, 1/3 of cranberry = 2/6, and 1/6 of grape juice, so 6/6 in all = 1 litre.

You want 1� litres, so you need 4�/6 orange, 3/6 of cran, and 1�/6 of grape. 9/6 in all = 1�litres.

That is 3/4 orange, 1/2 cran, 1/4 grape.

I hope this makes sense for you!
