Question

What's 1/6+1/2 = in fraction form and how did you get the answer

Answer 1

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)`

Answer 2

Explanation:

1/2 is 3/6

1/6+3/6=4/6 which simplified is 2/3
