To help you solve the fraction maze, I will guide you through each step by adding fractions at various junctions. Let's start from the "Start" box and follow the correct path until we reach the "Finish."

### 1. Starting at \( \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2} \):
- \( \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \)
- The next box is the one with \( \frac{3}{4} \).

### 2. Now, \( \frac{3}{4} \):
- From here, you can either go left, right, or down. Let's go **down**.
- The next operation is \( \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} \):
  - \( \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{6} + \frac{3}{6} = \frac{5}{6} \)
- Move to the box with \( \frac{5}{6} \).

### 3. At \( \frac{5}{6} \):
- Going **down** from here takes you to \( \frac{3}{5} + \frac{2}{5} \):
  - \( \frac{3}{5} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{5}{5} = 1 \)
- Move to the box with \( 1 \).

### 4. From the box with \( 1 \):
- The only option is to go **down** to \( \frac{1}{5} + \frac{7}{5} \):
  - \( \frac{1}{5} + \frac{7}{5} = \frac{8}{5} \)
- The next box is the one with \( \frac{8}{5} \).

### 5. At \( \frac{8}{5} \):
- Going **down** takes you to \( \frac{2}{5} + \frac{2}{5} \):
  - \( \frac{2}{5} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{4}{5} \)
- Move to the box with \( \frac{4}{5} \).

### 6. Finally, \( \frac{4}{5} \):
- Going **right** leads to \( \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{15} \):
  - \( \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{15} = \frac{2}{15} \)

- Now, you reach the **Finish** box.

The correct path through the maze is:
**Start → \( \frac{3}{4} \) → \( \frac{5}{6} \) → \( 1 \) → \( \frac{8}{5} \) → \( \frac{4}{5} \) → Finish**

Let me know if you'd like more details or explanations for any step.
