Question

Craig filled 1/3 of a bag with black beans and 2/6 of the same bag with red beans. What fraction of the bag did Craig fill with beans?

A.1/3
B.3/9
C.1/2
D.2/3

Answer 1

4/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Make 1/3 into 6 as its denominator.

1 x 2 = 2

3 x 2 = 6

Black beans fill up 2/6 of the bag.

Red beans fill up 2/6 of the bag.

Find out what is the fraction both bags fill up altogether.

2/6 + 2/6 = 4/6

Answer 2

D. 2/3

If 2/6 equals 1/3, then 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3.
