Let's solve the fractions step by step and simplify the answers.
### a.
\[
\frac{2}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}
\]
### b.
\[
\frac{1}{4} \text{ (already simplified)}
\]
### c.
\[
\frac{1}{8} + \frac{2}{8} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{2}{8} + \frac{2}{8} = \frac{5}{8}
\]
### d.
\[
\frac{1}{9} + \frac{2}{9} = \frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3}
\]
### e.
\[
\frac{5}{12} \text{ (already simplified)}
\]
