Question

How do you add 1/3 and 1/6 together?

Answer 1

Multiply the numerator and denominator of the first question by 2 in order for both of the denominators to be the same.

1*2=2
3*2=6

Now that the denominators are the same, we can simply add the numerators and simplify if possible.

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

(3/6)= (1/2)

Final answer: 1/2

Answer 2

You have to find the least common denominator. 6 is one. Multiply 1/3 by 2 to get 2/6. Then you add 2/6 and 1/6 together to get 3/6. You can simplify it to get 1/2. Hope this helps! ;)
