Question

What’s 1/2 + 1/3? Y’all please help me . And when or if you can give me the answer can you do step-by-step on how you did that so I can do it myself next time?

Answer 1

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 :)

Answer 2

`\longrightarrow{\green{(5)/(6)}}`

`\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\red{:}}}}}`

`(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)`
