Answer

$\color{blue}{\dfrac{137}{30m}}$

Work Step by Step

The expressions are not similar since they have different denominators. Make the expressions similar using their LCD which is $5(6)(m) = 30m$ to obtain: $=\dfrac{1\color{red}{(5)}}{6m\color{red}{(5)}}+\dfrac{2\color{red}{(6)}}{5m\color{red}{(6)}}+\dfrac{4\color{red}{(30)}}{m\color{red}{(30)}} \\=\dfrac{5}{30m}+\dfrac{12}{30m}+\dfrac{120}{30m} \\=\dfrac{5+12+120}{30m} \\=\color{blue}{\dfrac{137}{30m}}$
