Question

What is the simplest form of 3/6 + 1/3

Answer 1

Before you add the fractions directly, you need to have common denominators. So, you need a GCF which is 6. 1/3 turns into 2/6 because you multiply 2 to both sides and get a common denominator. You can now add directly.

3/6+2/6= 5/6
Answer: 5/6

Answer 2

To add the two terms you must convert both terms to a denominator of 6.

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

2/6+3/6=5/6

Hope this helps!
