Given:


(3)/(6)+(1)/(6)+(2)/(3)

Let's perform the addition of the fractions.

The first step is to find the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators.

LCM of 6 and 3 = 6

Now, divide the LCM by each denominator and multiply the the corresponding numerator.

We have:


\begin{gathered} (3)/(6)+(1)/(6)+(2)/(3) \\ \\ =((3)1+1(1)+(2)2)/(6) \\ \\ =(3+1+4)/(6) \\ \\ =(8)/(6) \\ \\ =(4)/(3) \end{gathered}
