To add the fractions 1/2 and 1/3, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6.
Now we can convert both fractions to have a denominator of 6:
1/2 = 3/6
1/3 = 2/6
Now we can add the fractions:
3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6
So, 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6.

I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's correct it.
To add the fractions 1/2 and 1/3, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 2 and 3 is 6.
To convert 1/2 to a fraction with a denominator of 6, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3:
(1/2) * (3/3) = 3/6
To convert 1/3 to a fraction with a denominator of 6, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2:
(1/3) * (2/2) = 2/6
Now we can add the fractions:
3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6
Therefore, 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6.
