Question

What does 3/6 + 1/3 equal

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When adding fractions, you always look for the LCD

(Least Common Denominator)

You need to multiply both the numerator and denominator to get the LCD:

$==> \frac{3}{6}  + \frac{1*2}{3*2}$

Then you need to rewrite the equation:

$\frac{3}{6}  + \frac{2}{6}$

You do not add the denominators, only the numerators:

$\frac{3+2}{6}   ==>  \frac{5}{6}$
