Add the fractions and simplify the answer: 1/2 + 2/3

Sagot :

1/2 + 2/3

Find lowest common denominator:

3*(1/2) + 2*(2/3)
3/6 + 4/6

Now with denominators the same, all you have to do is add the numerator - the denominator stays the same through the addition process:

(3 + 4)/6 = 7/6 = 1 1/6
452
[tex]\boxed{ \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3+2}{6} = \frac{5}{6} }[/tex]
