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

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

=1 and 1/6
