Question

Timothy needs 1/2 cup of bread crumbs for a casserole and 1/3 cup of bread crumbs for the topping. How many cups of bread crumbs does Timothy need?

Answer 1

1/3 is also 2/6 and 1/2 is also 3/6 add and Timothy needs 5/6 cups

Answer 2

1/2+1/3 = 3/6+2/6
(because 1/2 * 3 & 1/3 * 2)
3/6+2/6=5/6.

Timothy needs 5/6 of a cup.
