Answer: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 is the same as 2/6

Imagine cutting a cake into thirds, then cutting each piece in two parts, so you'll have 6 pieces total. If you shade one third of the cake, then this is the same as shading 2/6 of a cake. The diagram shows this below.

Therefore 4/6 + 1/3 is the same as 4/6 + 2/6

At this point, we add the numerators over the common denominator

4/6 + 2/6 = (4+2)/6 = 6/6 = 1

Meaning we get a full cake since 4/6 is four slices and 2/6 is another two slices leading to 4+2 = 6 slices total out of the 6 overall.
