Adding fractions (1)/(2) \ + (2)/(3)

Question

Adding fractions

`(1)/(2) \ + (2)/(3)`

Answer 1

First find the MCM of both fractions:

`(1)/(2) + (2)/(3) = (3)/(6) + (4)/(6)`

After that do the sum normally:

`(3)/(6) + (4)/(6) = (7)/(6) = 1 (1)/(6)`

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

Answer 2

Here we have to find lcm of 2 and 3 first

lcm of 2 and 3 is 2*3=6

now we convert both denominator into lcm

`(1)/(2) +(2)/(3)`

`(1*3)/(2*3) +(2*2)/(3*2)`

`(3)/(6) +(4)/(6)`

combining numerators

`(3+4)/(6)`

=7/6
