Problem

Compute $\left(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{9}\right)(3+6+9)$.

Solution

Solving the right side gives $3 + 6 + 9 = 18$. Distributing into the left side gives $\frac{18}{3}+\frac{18}{6}+\frac{18}{9}$, so the answer is $6 + 3 + 2 = \boxed{11}$.


Solution 2

$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{9}=\frac{6}{18}+\frac{3}{18}+\frac{2}{18}=\frac{11}{18}$ and $3+6+9=18$, so the answer is $\frac{11}{18}\cdot18=\boxed{11}$.
