Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

We are asked to Add Fractions.

What are Fractions?

Fractions are parts of a single whole number.

To make adding these fractions similar, we should have a common denominator.


(Numerator)/(Denominator)

When we add common denominators, they remain the same. This makes adding fractions much easier.

Let's identify the common denominator by finding the Least Common Multiple. (LCM)

What is the LCM?

The LCM is the smallest common multiple that 2 numbers have. A multiple is the product of that number.

An Example of Multiples:


4; 4 * 1, 4 * 2, 4 * 3, 4 * 4, 4 * 5, 4 * 6.\\4; 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24.

An Example of the LCM:


4; 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, [24], 28\\6; 6, 12, 18, [24], 30, 36, 42. \\The \ LCM \ is \ 24.

Let's use the example above as a guide, but for our values in the denominator.


2; 2, 4, [6], 8, 10, 12, 14.\\3; 3, [6], 9, 12, 15, 18, 21.\\The \ LCM \ is \ 6.

Our Denominators will be 6.

Multiply both the Numerator and the Denominator by the number needed to make the denominator 6.


(1 * 3)/(2 * 3)=(3)/(6) \\(1 * 2)/(3 * 2) = (2)/(6)

Add:


(3)/(6) + (2)/(6) = (5)/(6) \\

Our final answer is
(5)/(6) .

Answer: 5/6

Explanation:

First, you find the common denominator of the two:

3/6 + 2/6

Now you can easily add the two:

5/6
