fraction add 1/2 +1/3 what is the answer


Sagot :

First change the denomimators to LCD 6 then divide by the former denominators (2,3) and multiply the quotient to numerator. Then add
3/6+2/6= 5/6
the final answer is 5/6  but before you got that answer first you must get the LCD (Least common denominator )  then multiply the denominators then go back divide your LCD by the denominator of 1/2 which is 2 so you get 3 then multiply it by 1 same on the other 6 divided by 3 equals to 2 observe it below 

1/2 + 1/3= 2+3/6 
             =5/6
