Answer 1

You have the following information:

- Mateo drank 1/6 of a glass of water in the morning

- Mateo drank 1/6 of a glass of water in the afternoon

In order to determine how much water Mateo drank at all, you add the amount of waterdrank in the morning and in the afternoon:

`(1)/(6)+(1)/(6)=(2)/(6)=(1)/(3)`

where you have added two homogeneus fractions, and you have simplified the fraction.
