Answer:

2/3

Explanation:

Find common denominators first. The current denominators are 6 and 2. 2 can go into 6 by multiplying by 3, so 6 is the common denominator.

Convert 1/2 to sixths by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3.


(1)/(2) ×
(3)/(3) =
(3)/(6)

Now add

1/6 + 3/6 = 4/6

Reduce your fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2


(4)/(6) ÷
(2)/(2) = (2)/(3)
