1 1/2 + 2/3=?

Question

A. 1 3/5
B. 5/6
C. -5/6
D. 2 1/6

Answer 1

To solve this problem, you need to find a common denominator for the fractions.

The common denominator for 2/3 and 1/2 is 6.

Now, convert each fraction to have a denominator of 6:

1 1/2 = (1*2 + 1)/2 = 3/2

2/3 remains the same.

Now that both fractions have the same denominator, you can add them together:

3/2 + 2/3 = (3*3 + 2*2)/6 = 9/6 + 4/6 = 13/6

Therefore, the answer is D. 2 1/6
