(1/2)+(2/3)
make bottom number same to add because

(a)/(y) + (b)/(y) = (a+b)/(y)
remember that we don't want to change the numbers
when you mulitply by x/x where x=x, then that is the same number
example
1/2 times 2/2=2/4
so 1/2=2/4


ok

1/2 and 2/3
bottom number is 2 and 3
2 times 3=6

so make bottom number 6
what you multiply bottom number by, you also multiply top number

1/2
2 times 3=6
1/2 times 3/3=3/6

2/3
3 times 2=6
2/3 times 2/2=4/6

now we got

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