$(\frac{1}{8})+(\frac{1}{6})=(\frac{1}{t})$

If you turn the left hand side into a common denominatior of 48, it becomes $(\frac{6}{48})+(\frac{8}{48})=(\frac{1}{t})$

This can now be added together to give

$\frac{14}{48}=(\frac{1}{t})$

And this can be simplified to

$\frac{7}{24}=(\frac{1}{t})$

Next, if you multipy both sides by t, it becomes

$\frac{7}{24}\cdot t= 1$

Now, dividing both sides by 24/7 will give

$t=\frac{7}{24}$
