Question

One third plus one half

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$+$\frac{1}{2}$

least common multiple; there is no common multiple so you need to multiply 3*2 which equals 6.

$\frac{1}{3}$ * $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$

$\frac{1}{2}$ * $\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$

now, add the fractions $\frac{1}{6}$ + $\frac{1}{6}$ which equals $\frac{2}{6}$ which again when simplifies will result in $\frac{1}{3}$

The final answer is $\frac{1}{3}$

Answer 2

Find the LCD of 1/3 and 1/2.

The LCD is 6.

1/3 in 6ths is 2/6.

1/2 in 6ths is 3/6.

2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6.

1/3 + 1/2 = 5/6.

Hope this helps and have a nice day.
