Question

What is 1/2 + 1/6, please explain, I'm very bad at math

Answer 1

Answer:

Before adding, we need to make sure the denominators are the same. We can do so by multiplying the fraction by a common multiple. In this case, 3 is a multiple of 6, so we can change 1/2 to 3/6. 3/6 is still equal to 1/2, so nothing changes.

Now we have 3/6+1/6, which is 4/6 (add the numerator).

4/6 can be simplified to 2/3 and 2 is a multiple of 4 and 6.

So, therefore, the answer is 2/3.
