3/4 + 2/6 =
You need a common denominator to add fractions.
12 is the smallest number divisible by 4 and 6.
3/4 = 9/12
2/6 = 4/12
9/12 + 4/12 = 13/12 = 1 1/12
13/12 OR 1 1/2
To solve this problem, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions. The denominator is the bottom part of the fraction that represents the total number of parts divided.
In this case, the common denominator for 4 and 6 is 12 because both 4 and 6 can evenly divide into 12.
Now, we need to adjust the numerators to have the same denominator. To do this, we multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by a number that will yield the common denominator.
For the fraction 3/4, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 9/12.
For the fraction 2/6, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 4/12.
Now that both fractions have a common denominator of 12, we can simply add the numerators together:
9/12 + 4/12
Since the denominators are the same, we can add the numerators directly:
9 + 4 = 13
So, the sum of 3/4 and 2/6 is 13/12.
