Question

Whats 5/6 + 1/2 plz i am a starter​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find like denominators (denominators that are the same). Since 6 is a multiple of 2, you can leave the 5/6 as it is and only have to change the 1/2.

3 x 2 = 6

Since 3x2 is 6, multiply the 1 by 3 as well.

And you get: 3/6

Now you can add the two fractions.

5/6 + 3/6 = 8/6  *Always remember you only have to add the numerators, not the denominators!

Now you have to simplify (depends on the instructions you receive).

Since 6 goes into 8 once, you get 1, and still have 2/6 left over. You can still simplify 1 2/6 to 1 1/3. (Because 2 can go into itself once and 3 times, which results in 1/3.)

So the answer is 1 1/3.

Answer 2

In exact form it would be 4/3
