Question

What is the fraction of 1/2+1/3=

Answer 1

Answer:
`\frac56`

Work Shown:

`(1)/(2)+(1)/(3)\\\\(3)/(6)+(2)/(6)\\\\(3+2)/(6)\\\\(5)/(6)\\\\`

To visualize this, cut up a circle into 6 equal pieces.

3 of those pieces represent half the circle (3/6 = 1/2)

2 more pieces represent one third (2/6 = 1/3)

We have 3+2 = 5 pieces out of 6 total. This is visual confirmation that 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6

Answer 2

1/6 would be the fraction of 1/2+1/3= 1/6!
