Nope, but you're close.
What is 1/3 with a denominator of 12?
To find the sum of fractions, you need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12, since both fractions have a denominator of 12.
Now let's convert the fractions:
First fraction: 6/12 is already in terms of 12 as the denominator, so no conversion is needed.
Second fraction: 1/3 needs to be multiplied by a fraction equivalent to 1 but with a denominator of 12. To get a denominator of 12 from 3, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 4: (1/3) x (4/4) = 4/12.
Now that both fractions have a denominator of 12, we can add them:
6/12 + 4/12 = (6 + 4)/12 = 10/12.
The sum of 6/12 and 1/3 is 10/12.
