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