[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the sum of -1/2 and 1/3, you need to have a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. Let's bring both fractions to the same denominator:

-1/2 is already written with the denominator of 2, so it remains the same.
1/3 needs to be written with a denominator of 6. To do this, you multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 2: (1/3) * (2/2) = 2/6.

Now that both fractions have a denominator of 6, you can add them:

-1/2 + 2/6 = (-1 * 3/2 * 3) + (2/6) = -3/6 + 2/6 = -1/6.

Therefore, the answer is -1/6, which corresponds to option A.
