(4)/(6) + (2)/(3) = ?

You need to find a common denominator to add them which is 6

6×1=6 and 3×2=6

What you do on the denominator, you must do in the numerator


(4)/(6) + (4)/(5) =
(8)/(6)

To reduce, find a common factor which in this case is 2

8÷2=4 and 6÷2=3 ⇒
(4)/(3)

To change to a mix fraction, divide the numerator by the denominator


(4)/(3)
1 (1)/(3)

Answer:
(4)/(3) as an improper fraction or
1 (1)/(3) as a mixed fraction

(4)/(6) +
(2)/(3)

First, simplify
(4)/(6) to
(2)/(3) / Your problem should look like:
(2)/(3) +
(2)/(3)
Second, join the denominators. / Your problem should look like:
(2+2)/(3)
Third, simplify. / Your problem should look like:
(4)/(3)
Fourth, convert to mixed fraction. / Your problem should look like:
1(1)/(3)

Mixed number form:
1(1)/(3)
Exact form:
(4)/(3)
