Question

What is 4/6+2/3.?(these are fractions, you're just adding fractions)

Answer 1

Answer:

4/3 or 1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4/6 + 2/3

2. 4/6 + 4/6          You have to find the LCM (least common multiple) of the two  denominators. In this case it would be 6. You have to multiply 3 by 2 to get 6. What you do to the bottom you also do to the top so you have to also multiply the numerator (2) by 2.

3. 4/3 or 1 1/3       Afterward, you just have to add straight across without changing the denominator and then if you need to simplify you simplify. Without simplifying, you would get 8/6, but, most teachers will mark it as wrong if you don't simplify. You can then change the improper fraction into a mixed number depending on what your teacher wants.

Answer 2

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 2 by 2, and get 4, then we multiply 3 by 2 and get 6.

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators. 4 + 4 = 8. That gives us the sum, which is 8/6. Then you divide by 2.  So 8/6 / 2 gives you 4/3.
