Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

Given the mathematical expression;

$\frac {1}{3} + (1)/(6) = 0$

First of all, we would determine the lowest common multiple for 3 and 6.

Lcm = 6

$\frac {1}{3} + (1)/(6) = \frac {2 + 1}{6}$

$\frac {2 + 1}{6} = \frac {3}{6}$

$\frac {3}{6} = \frac {1}{2}$

Therefore, 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2
