Question

What does 3/6 + 1/3 equal

Answer 1

`(5)/(6)`

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:

`==> (3)/(6)  + (1*2)/(3*2)`

Then you need to rewrite the equation:

`(3)/(6)  + (2)/(6)`

You do not add the denominators, only the numerators:

`(3+2)/(6)   ==>  (5)/(6)`
