Question

rename 1/2 and 2/3 as fractions with denominators of 6.then add the renamed fractions. write the sum as a mixed number.

Answer 1

Answer:

1 and 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To rename a fraction you multiply both numbers by however many times the original denominator goes into the new one.

2 goes into 6 three times.

1 times 3 is 3

and 2 times 3 is 6

so 1/2=3/6

3 goes into 6 twice

2 times 2 is 4

and 2 times 3 is 6

so 2/3=4/6

to add fractions you add the numerators while keeping the denominators the same.

3+4=7 so:

3/6+4/6=7/6

6/6=1

so 7/6 contains 1 whole

once you take that out you have 1/6 left over
