Each of the letters A through I represents a different digit 1 through 9.
A/BC + D/EF + G/HI = 1
As you can see, each fraction has a one-digit numerator and a two-digit denominator.
I know of only one solution (up to changing the order of the addition). I would be glad to see another.
My solution is below.

9/12 + 5/34 + 7/68 = 1
Changing the order of the addition is not a different solution.
5/34 + 9/12 + 7/68 = 1
A/BC + D/EF + G/HI = 1
