1/2 + 1/3
wrong
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's correct it.
To add the fractions 1/2 and 1/3, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 2 and 3 is 6.
To convert 1/2 to a fraction with a denominator of 6, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3:
(1/2) * (3/3) = 3/6
To convert 1/3 to a fraction with a denominator of 6, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2:
(1/3) * (2/2) = 2/6
Now we can add the fractions:
3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6
Therefore, 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6.
To add fractions, you first need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator for 2 and 3 is 6.
Multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction, 1/2, by 3 to make the denominator 6:
1/2 x 3/3 = 3/6
Multiply the numerator and denominator of the second fraction, 1/3, by 2 to make the denominator 6:
1/3 x 2/2 = 2/6
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, you can add them together:
3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6
Therefore, the sum of 1/2 + 1/3 is 5/6.
To find the sum of 1/2 and 1/3, you need to have a common denominator. The least common denominator for 2 and 3 is 6.
To add fractions with different denominators:
1. Find the equivalent fractions with the same denominator using the least common denominator.
- Multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the same number so that both denominators become the least common denominator.
- In this case, multiply 1/2 by 3/3 to get 3/6 and multiply 1/3 by 2/2 to get 2/6.
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, you can add the numerators together:
3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6
Therefore, 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6.
To add the fractions 1/2 and 1/3, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6.
Now we can convert both fractions to have a denominator of 6:
1/2 = 3/6
1/3 = 2/6
Now we can add the fractions:
3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6
So, 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6.
