Answer:

5/6

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the GCD (greatest common denominator)

12

Step 2: multiply your factions to represent this


(2x3)/(4x3) = (6)/(12) \\ ,
(1x4)/(3x4) = (4)/(12)

Step 3: add the numerators:


(6)/(12) + (4)/(12) = (10)/(12)

Step 4: reduce your fraction


(10)/(12) = (5)/(6)

Hope that helps

Fraction multiplication

2/4 x 1/3

We reduce the fraction 2/4 to its lowest expression by extracting and canceling 2.

1/2 x (1/3)

Multiply 1/2 by 1/3 (to do this, multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator).

1 x 1/2 x 3 =====> Multiply

1/6 ====> Answer
