Question

Using the models, add


.

Two rectangles divided into 6 equal parts. The first rectangle has 4 parts shaded. The second rectangle has 2 parts shaded.

Answer 1

Each rectangle is split into sixths, so the fractions are 4/6 and 2/6. Add the numerators (same denominator):

4/6 + 2/6 = 6/6.

6/6 = 1, so together the shaded parts make one whole.
