What does 2/3 + 5/6 equal?
change the 2/3 to 4/6 then add.
First get the common denominator.
2/3 = 4/6
4/6 + 5/6 = 9/6 = 1 3/6 = 1 1/2
To find the sum of two fractions, first ensure that the denominators (the bottom numbers) are the same. In this case, the denominators are 3 and 6.
To make them the same, you need to find a common denominator, which in this case is 6.
Next, you need to adjust the numerators (the top numbers) so that each fraction has the same denominator.
For the first fraction, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2.
(2/3) x (2/2) = 4/6
For the second fraction, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1.
(5/6) x (1/1) = 5/6
Now that the denominators are the same, you can add the numerators together.
4/6 + 5/6 = 9/6
Finally, simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.
(9/3) / (6/3) = 3/2
Therefore, 2/3 + 5/6 equals 3/2 or 1 1/2.
