If you have not done so you should refer to your figure showing the positions which are multiples of pi/6.

On your picture you will see that the sequence of angular positions 2 pi/3, pi, 4 pi/3, 5 pi/3, 2 pi, 7 pi/3 beginning in the first quadrant and moving through the second, third and fourth quadrants to the 2 pi position, then pi/3 beyond that to the 7 pi/3 position. The 7 pi/3 position is therefore identical to the pi/3 position.

The angular position changes by pi/4 radians every second. Starting at angular position pi/3, the angular positions after successive seconds will be

pi/3 + pi/4,

pi/3 + 2 pi/4,

pi/3 + 3 pi/4,

pi/3 + 4 pi/4,

pi/3 + 5 pi/4,

pi/3 + 6 pi/4,

pi/3 + 7 pi/4 and

pi/3 + 8 pi/4.

These fractions must be added before being reduced to lowest terms. In each case the fractions are added by changing each to the common denominator 12. This is illustrated for pi/3 + 3 pi/4:

We first multiply pi/3 by 4/4 and 3 pi/4 by 3/3, obtaining the fractions 4 pi/12 and 9 pi/12.

So the sum pi/3 + 3 pi/4 becomes 4 pi/12 + 9 pi/12, which is equal to 13 pi/12.

The fractions add up as follows:

pi/3 + pi/4 = 7 pi/12,

pi/3 + 2 pi/4 = 5 pi/6,

pi/3 + 3 pi/4 = 13 pi/12,

pi/3 + 4 pi/4 = 4 pi/3,

pi/3 + 5 pi/4 = 19 pi/12,

pi/3 + 6 pi/4 = 11 pi/6,

pi/3 + 7 pi/4 = 25 pi/12 and

pi/3 + 8 pi/4 = 14 pi / 3.
