Question

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

Answer 1

so first convert the denoenator (bottom n umber) to the sam enumber


1/2 and 2/3
the numbers are 2 and 3
find least comon multiple
easy way to convert is multiply each by bottom number of the other over the other exg
1/2 +2/3
1/2 times 3/3+2/3 times 2/2
3/6+4/6
(7)/6
7/6
1 and 1/6

Answer 2

What we are going to do is add
`(1)/(2)` by
`(2)/(3)`. The first thing we do is make common denominators for
`(1)/(2)` and
`(2)/(3)`:
`(1*3)/(2*3)= (3)/(6) \ and \ (2*2)/(3*2)= (4)/(6)`. Now we add
`(3)/(6)` by
`(4)/(6)`:
`(3)/(6)+ (4)/(6)= (7)/(6)`. Now we make
`(7)/(6)` a mixed number:
`(7)/(6)=1 (1)/(6)`. Therefore, your answer is
`\boxed{\boxed{1 (1)/(6)}}`. Hoped I helped. :)
