What's 1 5
--------- + ----------
3 6
1/3 + 5/6 = 2/6 + 5/6 = 7/6 = 1 1/6
(1/3) + (5/6)
(2/6) + (5/6) = 7/6 = 1 1/6
Thanks
You're welcome.
To solve this expression, you need to find a common denominator for the fractions. The common denominator is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which in this case is 6.
Now, multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 2 (to make the denominator 6) and the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 1 (to maintain the value):
1 * 2 5 * 1
------- + -------
3 * 2 6 * 1
Simplifying this expression gives:
2/6 + 5/6
Now that the denominators are the same, you can add the numerators and keep the same denominator. The result is:
(2 + 5) / 6
2 + 5 is equal to 7, so the final result is:
7/6
Thus, the expression 1/3 + 5/6 simplifies to 7/6.
