Question

How to reduce 1/2+1/3 to the lowest term

Answer 1

$\bf \cfrac{1}{2}+\cfrac{1}{3}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using an LCD of 6}}{\cfrac{(3)1~~+~~(2)1}{6}}\implies \cfrac{5}{6}$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 + 1/3

Find the LCM of 2 and 3

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

=3/6+2/6

Since they have thesame denominator, we can say;

=3+2/6

=5/6
