1/2 + 2/6 ?

Answer 1

To add the fractions 1/2 and 2/6, we need to make the denominators the same.

First, we notice that the denominator of the second fraction (2/6) is a multiple of the denominator of the first fraction (1/2). Therefore, we don't need to convert the denominator of the second fraction.

To make the denominators the same, we can convert the numerator of the first fraction to have a denominator of 6. Since 2 multiplied by 3 equals 6, we multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3:

(1/2) = (1 * 3) / (2 * 3) = 3/6

Now, we can add the fractions:

3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6

Therefore, 1/2 + 2/6 = 5/6.
