Hi! 1/2 + 1/3 is 5/6.

2 + 3 = 5
2 X 3 = 6

= 5/6

I hope this helped if I can help in anyway I would be happy to help you. Goodluck :)

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

Since the denominators are unequal, we find the L.C.M (lowest common multiple) for both denominators.

The L. C. M for 2 and 3 is 6.

Now, multiply the L.C.M. with both numerator & denominator.


= (1 * 3)/(2 * 3) + (1 * 2)/(3 * 2)


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

Now that the denominators are equal, we can add them.


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