Question

What common fraction must be added to 1/6 to equal 1/2(Working please)

Answer 1

1/3

Explanation:

let the common fraction be x

we get,

1/6 + x = 1/2

x = 1/2 - 1/6

x = 6 - 2/12

x = 4/12

x = 1/3

VERIFICATION:

1/6 + x = 1/2

1/6 + 1/3 = 1/2

3 + 6/18 = 1/2

9/18 = 1/2

1/2 = 1/2

Answer 2

2/6

Why?
Because 1/6 + 2/6 = 3/6, and 3/6 = 1/2

Hope this Helps!
