Answer 1

(5/6) + (4/6) = ?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

no....(5/6 + 2/3)

Answer 4

In order to add fractions, they must have the same denominator.

2/3 = 4/6

To find the sum of five-sixth and two-thirds, you need to first make sure the fractions have a common denominator. To do this, you can find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which is the smallest number that both 6 and 3 can divide evenly into.

In this case, the LCM of 6 and 3 is 6. So, we need to convert both fractions to have a denominator of 6.

For five-sixths:
Multiply the numerator (5) by 1, which gives us 5, then multiply the denominator (6) by 1, giving us 6.
So, five-sixths becomes 5/6.

For two-thirds:
Multiply the numerator (2) by 2, which gives us 4, then multiply the denominator (3) by 2, giving us 6.
So, two-thirds becomes 4/6.

Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can combine them by adding the numerators and keeping the denominator the same.

The sum of 5/6 and 4/6 is (5 + 4)/6, which equals 9/6.

However, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor. In this case, the greatest common divisor of 9 and 6 is 3.

Dividing both 9 and 6 by 3, we get 3/2.

Therefore, the simplified sum of five-sixths and two-thirds is 3/2.
