Procedural Verification of Resource Variance Ratios

In your capacity as a Technical Training Coordinator, you are updating the 'Standard Calculations' handbook for new hires. One entry in the manual describes the step-by-step simplification of the Resource Variance Formula:

12+233416\frac{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{3}}{\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{6}}

Based on the standard procedure for this specific expression, write a brief response that recalls the numerical milestones of the calculation. Your response must identify:

  1. The Least Common Denominators (LCDs) used to combine the fractions in the numerator and the denominator.
  2. The two specific fractions that result from the addition in the numerator and the subtraction in the denominator.
  3. The final integer value of the ratio after all simplification is complete.
