Question

Over a dozen workers helped to construct the new town church. One particular man did 1/6 of the work,

Answer 1

Answer: They did 3/6 or 1/2 of the work together

Step-by-step explanation: You have to make the denominators of both fractions the same. So change 1/3 to 2/6. then you add 1/6 + 2/6 = 3/6 = 1/2

Answer 2

Together they compete led a full half of the work. You can find this out by separating the fractions from the equation, 1/6 and 1/3. In order to add fractions to each other they need to have the same denominator so you need to multiply 1/3 by 2 to get 2/6. Then you simply add 1/6 and 2/6 together and get 3/6. If asked to simplify turn it into 1/2
